In early December, Hayward police issued a press release about a fatal shooting that occurred behind an industrial complex near the 25000 block of Industrial Boulevard. The decedent, Shawn Freeman, was a former resident of Livermore.
While Freeman, 42, was not named in Hayward PD’s press release, he was confirmed as the victim in a family social media post on Dec. 26.
According to the family’s post, Freeman was unhoused and the area in which the shooting took place was an encampment.
Hayward police said in their statement that on Dec. 7 around 11:45 p.m., officers arrived on scene and located an adult male victim suffering from gunshot wounds.
Officers and medical personnel provided medical treatment at the scene and the victim was transported to an area hospital for further treatment. The victim later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital and was pronounced deceased on Dec. 8.
Freeman’s death marked the city of Hayward’s fourteenth homicide in 2024. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information related to the homicide is asked to call Detective Scott Navas at 510-293-7176.
