The grandmother of a man shot and killed in his car in Castro Valley said Wednesday she wants answers in his death.
"He was murdered. He was killed - senselessly," said Bonita Thomas.
Her 20-year-old grandson, Kyre Thomas, was shot and killed in his car in what's normally quiet Castro Valley."I don't know, per se, what exactly he was doing, but all I know is at the end of the day, he was loved, and he will be truly missed," she said. It happened at about 10:15 p.m. Monday near the corner of North Sixth and Knox Streets, off Redwood Road.Thomas died at the scene. Neighbors say they are jarred by the shooting.
"Craziness, yeah it was insane," said Jeff Moreno. "It shook the whole - everyone heard it. It was literally right close to the house, so it was very loud."At least one bullet went through a Scion and went out the front windshield."It's definitely scary, but we all came together, you know, to console each other, neighbors and everything," Mejia said."It's terrifying. There's kids in this neighborhood.
"I would say stop the violence. Stop the killing. We need our black men. We need our men, period, you know? His life has just started. He was only 20 years old."By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
