Oakland police seeking two persons of interest in fatal shooting near Uptown District

OAKLAND — Police have identified two people who they say are persons of interest in last week’s fatal shooting of a man near the Uptown District and are asking for the public to be on the lookout for them.

The shooting happened June 21 about 6:30 p.m. in the 400 block of 26th Street and ended the life of 27-year-old Daly City resident Matheus Gaidos. Police released Gaidos’ identity Tuesday.

Police released still separate images of a male and what appears to be a female. The man appears to be of Asian descent and is wearing glasses. He is wearing what appears to be an orange-colored shirt.

The other person appears to have long hair down to her stomach and is wearing dark clothing.

Police said the two were walking in the area prior to the fatal shooting. The area is a mixture of homes and businesses that runs between Broadway and Telegraph Avenue.

The shooting happened after the shooter and Gaidos got into a dispute, police said. Police have not said what caused it. An ambulance rushed Gaidos to a hospital, but he died there.

Gaidos’ killing was the 51st homicide investigated by Oakland police in 2023.
