On July 10, 2024, five members of a family were shot to death in their home on the 400 block of Kitty Hawk Road in Alameda, California. Victims named include 1-year-old Wesley James Killian, his 6-year-old brother William Andrew Killian, their mother Brenda Natali Morales, and their maternal grandparents Miguel Angel Carcamo Ramirez, 70, and Marta Elena Morales, 56. Miguel Carcamo identified his son-in-law, 54-year-old Shane Killian, as the shooter in his final moments.

Shane Killian was arrested at the scene without incident and has been booked on multiple felony counts, including five counts of murder, corporal injury to a relationship partner, elder or dependent adult abuse, and weapons charges for an assault weapon and an unconventional pistol. Authorities have not disclosed a motive. The community, including members of the local Little League where William played, has been deeply affected; a GoFundMe was set up to cover funeral costs and to repatriate the victims to El Salvador.

Anyone with information about the killings or who knew the family is asked to come forward.
