Two Men Arrested in Separate I-880 Freeway Shootings in Hayward, San Leandro

Multiple shooting incidents involving firearms on or near Interstate 880 and in Hayward have led to arrests and charges against suspects. In Hayward, 39-year-old Rony David Murciascastillo was arrested at a San Pablo casino and charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and multiple felony gun and drug charges after allegedly shooting at a motorist on I-880 in May; no injuries were reported. CHP officials praised the interdepartmental cooperation that led to Murciascastillo's swift apprehension. Separately, a 23-year-old Hayward man was charged with felony assault with a firearm for shooting another man in the armpit during a parking lot dispute, though he claimed he fired a warning shot to protect himself and his children. In San Leandro, Jimmy Lee Rider, a four-time felon, was arrested and charged with assault with a semi-automatic firearm and other offenses after a road-rage shooting on I-880 left a car riddled with bullets but the driver unharmed; dashcam and traffic surveillance footage were instrumental in his quick arrest. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about gun violence and road rage in the Bay Area, with law enforcement agencies actively pursuing suspects to enhance public safety.
