OAKLAND \u2014 A Stockton man was charged Monday with murder in the June 14 killing of a beloved father of four, who was fatally shot as he drove in East Oakland, according to authorities and court records.<\/p>\n
Leonard Evans, 42, was arrested Wednesday at his Stockton home; he was also charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle. He is being held without bail and was scheduled to be arraigned Monday.<\/p>\n
Authorities said that during an interview with investigators Evans denied involvement in the shooting.<\/p>\n
He is charged in the killing of Williams Ivan Parra-Carbajal, 41, who had addresses in San Leandro and Hayward. He was fatally shot about 11:30 a.m. June 14 as he drove a Tesla in the 1300 block of Seminary Avenue. He worked as a rideshare driver, but police said he was not working when he was shot.<\/p>\n
Police said the two men did not know each other, and have not confirmed a motive. They are trying to determine why the men were in Oakland. A longtime friend of Parra-Carbajal said he was expecting him at the friend\u2019s home in another part of Alameda County later in the day to hang out and possibly watch a World Cup soccer match.<\/p>\n
Investigators were able to identify Evans as the suspect through surveillance footage, witness statements and electronic evidence, court records say. Police said Evans was riding a motorcycle when the shooting happened.<\/p>\n
Parra-Carbajal is survived by his wife and four children, two boys and two girls ranging in age from 2 to 21.<\/p>\n
According to an online fundraiser posted by a family member, he\u00a0 \u201cmeant everything to his family, bringing joy and support to everyone around him. As the main support for his loved ones, his loss has left a deep void in all of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
The longtime friend said \u201cthe family is happy with the (arrest) but is still upset it is not going to bring their father back.\u201d<\/p>\n
The friend said he will always consider Parra-Carbajal a part of his family and \u201cI will not stop missing him.\u201d<\/p>\n
