Teen dies after gunshot wound in Hayward in late June

HAYWARD — One of two teenagers injured in a shooting last week in Hayward has died, police said Thursday.

The youths, aged 17 and 18, were shot on June 27 near the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Industrial Parkway.

The 18-year-old, a Pleasanton resident, suffered serious injuries and was taken off life support Wednesday, according to Hayward police. His name has not been released.

The 17-year-old, also from Pleasanton, was treated at a local hospital and has since been released.

The shooting was reported around 11:11 p.m. on June 27 and the victims were found near the 100 block of West Tennyson Road after fleeing and calling 911 for help.

There is no indication that the shooting is linked to a murder that occurred the day before, on June 26, although that possibility has not been ruled out, police said.

In that case, a 15-year-old from Rodeo was found shot to death around 2 a.m. near the 24000 block of Second Street, police said.

At approximately 2:15 a.m., officers received reports that a second shooting victim had gone to a local medical facility for treatment.

The victim, a 13-year-old boy from Hayward, was in critical but stable condition, police said.

“Any loss of life is heartbreaking, and the loss of such young members of our community is even more difficult to comprehend,” said Hayward Police Chief Bryan Matthews. “Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the victims of this incident.”
