San Leandro police are currently investigating a homicide after a driver was found shot, which led to a vehicle collision on Benedict Drive last week. According to reports, the San Leandro Police Department responded to a solo vehicle accident on May 5 at approximately 6:24 p.m. in the 1800 block of the said street.

The investigation quickly turned from a routine car wreck to a case of deadly violence when officers discovered the driver with a gunshot wound. Regrettably, the driver was pronounced deceased at the scene by paramedics. While details are scant, the police believe the shooting occurred nearby shortly before the victim's car collided.

To thoroughly piece together the events that led to this tragic outcome, the San Leandro Police's Criminal Investigations Division has taken over the case. They have yet to share more specifics about the incident, as it is an ongoing investigation.

The department is actively seeking any information the public might offer and has encouraged witnesses or anyone with knowledge about the shooting to come forward. They've provided multiple contact points for tips: Sergeant J. Vincent is available at (510) 577-0656, and an anonymous tip line at (510) 577-3278. For those who prefer to text, a text-a-tip service is available at 888777 using the keyword TipSLPolice. 

Further details will be released to the public as they become available and are deemed appropriate for dissemination by the investigating body.
