Brent Vicens, a 42-year-old resident of Hayward, California, was shot to death outside a Hayward motel on September 2, 2018. The shooting, which occurred early that morning, was the city’s first homicide of the year; the Alameda County Coroner’s Office and Hayward Police Department confirmed his identity soon after the incident. Reports say he was struck multiple times and died of his wounds.

Family and community members remembered Vicens as a caring person who was willing to help others. Despite an active investigation, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and there have been no reported legal actions tied to the case. The Hayward Police Department has asked the public for information, and the community has held vigils and memorials in his honor.

Does anyone who was in Hayward near that motel on the morning of September 2, 2018, have information that could help investigators?
