May 19th - Suspicious Death Investigation (Niles)
We have received a couple of recent inquiries regarding the ongoing death investigation in Niles. The case remains active and we hope to have a more thorough update to provide in the near future.
We are aware of some rumors and misinformation that has spread regarding the case. As a department, are always very careful not to speculate and try to only share factual information. In many instances, cases are very quick to investigate and conclude, but unfortunately this is not one of them. We have a strong history of transparency with our community on major cases, and once we can share more detail, we will. These are the facts of the case we have available at this time:
On Sunday, May 19, 2019, at around 8:00 pm Fremont Fire responded to a man down medical call in the vicinity of the Florence Bar on Niles Blvd. The man was suffering from a head injury and was transported to a trauma center. It wasn’t evident at the time, nor was information provided, regarding the potential cause of the man’s injury.
Early the following morning, our department was notified that the man was suffering from a life threatening injury. Crimes Against Persons Detectives and CSI’s responded out to the area where they cordoned off the bar and adjacent courtyard. Detectives served a warrant and have been speaking to potential witnesses and associates since that time.
It’s believed that a fight may have occurred, but the specific circumstances have remained under investigation.
The man remained hospitalized on life support for several days. Currently detectives are waiting for the Alameda County Coroners autopsy report before they can conclude the criminal investigation. Until then this remains an active investigation classified as a suspicious death.
If anyone has information about this case and would like to speak with detectives, please call 510-790-6900.
