Andrew Williams, 32, with addresses in San Pablo and Oakland, was found fatally shot in West Oakland on June 4, 2017. His body was discovered around 3:20 a.m. in the middle of the roadway on the 1600 block of Linden Street. Initial reports left it unclear whether he was shot at that location or shot elsewhere and then dumped there, and no motive was known at the time.

Investigators later charged 31-year-old Artison Manalastas of Antioch with Williams’ murder. Court records say Manalastas and Williams had been acquaintances for months; Williams was shot while driving his Cadillac and his body was then dumped on Linden Street. Video reportedly showed Manalastas driving the Cadillac across the Carquinez Bridge into Vallejo, and the vehicle was later found pushed off the road on Grizzly Peak Boulevard in the Oakland hills. Manalastas, who has prior federal and state convictions, was arrested on June 9, 2017, and charged on June 12.

If anyone knew Andrew Williams, his movements that night, or saw the Cadillac after the shooting, please share what was seen with investigators.
