On February 2, 2025, Rolando Jose Silva, a 68-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed inside his Hayward home on Ramos Avenue. Officers arrived at about 9:10 a.m. after a woman reported that her landlord had been shot. Paramedics pronounced Silva dead at the scene.

Detectives later identified 43-year-old Larry Jose Lopez, an auto mechanic from Hayward who reportedly had known Silva for about 25 years, as the primary suspect. Lopez was arrested that evening at 7:42 p.m. and booked into Santa Rita Jail; the Alameda County District Attorney charged him with murder and a firearm enhancement. The motive remains unclear and investigators continue to probe the circumstances of the shooting.

Does anyone in the Hayward area have information about Silva, his relationship with Lopez, or what led to the shooting?
