Laquan Matthews, 23, of Oakland was shot and killed on December 14, 2020, in San Leandro. Officers found him around 4:50 p.m. in the 600 block of East 14th Street, near the police headquarters, suffering multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; he was taken to a hospital and died. The shooting involved multiple firearms and about 30 rounds, and another person was wounded non‑fatally. It was San Leandro’s sixth homicide of 2020.

Investigators say the violence followed a confrontation between rival groups after Matthews was reportedly robbed of a gold chain, which escalated into a shootout. Wavonte Oxner, 28, of Carmichael, was identified as a suspect; surveillance footage and witness statements tied him to the scene, and keys he dropped and later retrieved were used to link him to the location.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that afternoon on East 14th Street that could help clarify who fired the fatal shots?
