Arrest in 10th Hayward murder case in 2024

HAYWARD – A 34-year-old Hayward man was arrested in connection with the city’s 10th homicide this year, police said.

Shawn Moayer was taken into custody Wednesday at a residence in the 32000 block of Endeavour Way in Union City, Hayward police said in a news release.

Moayer's 59-year-old father was also arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting the crime.

The killing occurred on August 26 at about 3:25 p.m. in the 22000 block of Santa Clara Street, police said. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified as Matthew Beck, 36, of Hayward.

Investigators quickly identified Moayer as a suspect in the fatal shooting, police said.

During the investigation, investigators concluded that Moayer's father “knowingly helped, hid and harbored” Moayer to avoid arrest, police said.

Both men were taken to Santa Rita Jail, where they remained Thursday, police said.

“Our thoughts are with Mr. Beck's family and loved ones as they continue to grieve,” Police Chief Bryan Matthews said in a statement. “We hope these arrests represent a significant step in their journey toward healing and justice for Mr. Beck and his family.”

Anyone with information about the case can contact Detective Nathan Scinto at 510-293-7176.
