Murder Arrests: Man Killed While Pushing Baby Stroller In Hayward Case

HAYWARD, CA - Three people have been arrested in last month's shocking murder of a man who was gunned down on a Hayward street while pushing his 3-month-old son in a baby stroller.

The Alameda County Sheriff's Office announced the arrests on Thursday:

• Pablo Mendoza, 25, Hayward
• Brandon Follings, 26, Oakland
• Valerie Boden, 26, Alameda

All three have been charged with murder by the district attorney's office.

They are accused of killing 29 year old Daniel Deltoro of Hayward. He was shot and killed in the Cherryland neighborhood of unincorporated Hayward on Wednesday, July 19, 2017, at about 2:45 p.m.

Sheriff's Sgt. Ray Kelly said investigators believe the shooting was a result of gang activity and had "a specific targeted intent." Deltoro "had left gang life behind and was moving forward in a positive direction with his life when this happened," Kelly said, calling the shooting "very unfortunate."

He said the fact that Deltoro was pushing an infant when he was shot was "pretty shocking to the community" and "our investigators worked very hard on this."

Jail records showed Mendoza was booked into jail today and is due in court on Monday for arraignment, while Follings was booked into jail on Aug. 5 and is next due in court on Aug. 31 for a plea hearing.

Jail records did not show that Boden was currently in jail in Alameda County, but Kelly said she was arrested days after the shooting.
