Arturo Coronado, a 60-year-old Oakland resident and construction worker of more than 24 years, was shot and killed on October 4, 2022 in the Glenview neighborhood. He was reportedly awakened about 4 a.m. by the sound of metal grinding, went outside to confront thieves who were removing his vehicle’s catalytic converter, and was shot multiple times. Witnesses said the attackers fired from a vehicle and then fled; Coronado’s SUV was towed for evidence.

The Oakland Police Department opened a homicide investigation and collected evidence at the scene. No arrests or identified suspects have been announced. Family members, including his daughter Amalya Love, and neighbors described Coronado as dedicated and helpful, and the community has expressed shock and frustration. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
