On April 27, 2024, at about 6:45 a.m., Livermore police found two people dead from gunshot wounds in a room at the La Quinta Inn on Southfront Road. The victims were 26-year-old Lizabeth Murillo-Rodriguez and 21-year-old Christopher Vera, both from Oakland.

Investigators say Murillo-Rodriguez was married to 30-year-old Yonston Vazquez, also from Oakland. Authorities allege Vazquez tracked Murillo-Rodriguez and Vera to the hotel, deceived the front desk clerk to obtain a key to Room 212, forced the chained door, and then the two victims were shot. Vazquez reportedly contacted Murillo-Rodriguez’s family afterward, claiming a struggle over a firearm, but police have not corroborated that account.

Vazquez is charged with double murder and remains at large and considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Livermore Police Department anonymous tip line at (925) 371-4790.

Does anyone have information about Vazquez’s whereabouts or saw activity near the La Quinta Inn that morning?
