Leslie Ann Noyer, a 29-year-old cosmetologist from Oakland, California, was murdered on April 3, 1989. Her death was one in a series of random shootings along and near Interstate 580 during the spring and summer of 1989 that terrorized the Oakland area.

The killer was identified as 20-year-old Charles Arnett Stevens, who carried out a spree from April to July 1989 and used a semi-automatic handgun, firing at victims at close range. Investigators linked a .357 magnum Desert Eagle found in Stevens’ possession to the murders; newspaper clippings about the shootings were also found in his room. Stevens was arrested on July 27, 1989, on a freeway on-ramp after the wreck of his final victim’s car.

Stevens was described at trial as a thrill killer; his defense cited a troubled family background and a personality disorder. He was convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to death. Did anyone who knew Leslie Ann Noyer or who was in the Oakland area that spring remember details that could shed light on her last movements or connections?
