Juan Miguel Vazquez Serrano, 39, was shot and killed on April 10, 2021, in East Oakland. His body was found near 57th and Harmon Avenue. Ballistics linked his death to a string of fatal shootings in Stockton, where a suspected killer was believed to have shot five other people between July and September 2021.

All victims, including Serrano, were ambushed while alone in dark, isolated areas. Serrano had been living on the streets and left behind three daughters, ages 17, 16, and 10. His sister, Maria Vazquez, has spoken about the family’s pain and fear at the random nature of the attacks.

Oakland and Stockton police are investigating together. A person of interest was identified from surveillance footage, a $125,000 reward has been offered, and no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Serrano, saw suspicious activity near 57th and Harmon Avenue on April 10, 2021, or has information on the person of interest, please share what is known.
