David Van Nguyen, 28, was shot and killed on January 4, 2022, while driving his personal black Prius on the westbound I-580 connector ramp to westbound I-80 in Oakland. The shooting occurred at about 4:30 p.m. as Nguyen was heading home to San Francisco after training with the 172nd Academy class. After being struck, his car veered off and hit a guardrail; first responders found him with gunshot wounds and he later died at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

Nguyen was a recruit for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department and a former member of the California National Guard. Family and colleagues remembered him as charismatic, genuine and committed to public service. The California Highway Patrol led the investigation; the assailant remained unidentified and no arrests had been announced. The department and local law enforcement held tributes, and a memorial account was established to support his family.

Did anyone driving that stretch of freeway on January 4, 2022 see anything unusual or have dashcam footage that could help identify the shooter?
