Lorenzo Castrejon, 22, was shot and killed in Oakland on February 8, 2017. Officers responded after a ShotSpotter activation and found him inside a stolen Infiniti in the 3100 block of Chapman Street, a cul-de-sac beneath Interstate 880. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The motive remains unclear; police said the vehicle’s stolen status was not believed to be connected to the murder.

Investigators identified two men, Ernesto Ferrer, 22, and Joel Garcia Lopez, 26, as the shooters based on witness statements and surveillance footage. Both were charged with murder, arson, being felons in possession of a firearm, and shooting at an inhabited dwelling. Court filings describe Ferrer driving a Ford Fusion used in the incident to a Castro Valley gas station, cleaning it, and later burning it in San Joaquin County; Garcia Lopez was tied to burning another vehicle. Samantha Sandoval was charged with arson for helping burn the cars. Firearms were recovered from a motel room linked to Ferrer; both Ferrer and Garcia Lopez had prior felony convictions noted in court documents.

Does anyone have information about Lorenzo’s last known movements or saw activity in the Chapman Street cul-de-sac that night?
