Abel Martinez Mejia, a 41-year-old truck driver from Richmond, California, was killed on January 22, 2008, in East Oakland. He stopped for lunch at a taco truck parked at the corner of 85th Avenue and San Leandro Street after a shift at Standard Iron and Metals Co. Two brothers, Deandre Hill, 19, and Darryl Hill, 22, confronted him; Deandre demanded and snatched money from Mejia, and when Mejia reacted, Darryl shot him multiple times in the back and in the back of the head. Mejia died the next day at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

Both brothers were arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a special circumstance of committing murder during the course of a robbery. At trial before Judge C. Don Clay in Alameda County Superior Court, the jury convicted both brothers of murder and the special circumstance; Darryl Hill was also convicted of discharging a weapon. They were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Mejia was described as a hard-working truck driver, a husband and a father of four; his family said his death left a profound void.

Does anyone have information about Mejia’s last known movements that day or about witnesses who were at the taco truck?
