Gener Vasquez Orozco, 20, of San Mateo was shot to death in Oakland on August 5, 2021. He was found at about 12:35 a.m. in the 1800 block of East 17th Street near San Antonio Park after traveling to Oakland to meet someone. Police say he was confronted, shot and robbed; various items were taken and the suspect or suspects fled before officers arrived. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gener worked at the Atlas Skateboard Store in San Mateo and was remembered for his friendly attitude, quirky humor and kindness. A GoFundMe set up to support his family raised over $18,000. The Oakland Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Oakland have offered a reward, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Gener or has information about the shooting, please come forward to the investigators handling the case.
