Gabriel Stewart, 24, was shot and killed on December 20, 2023, while sitting in his car on the 1400 block of Rutherford Lane in Oakley, California. Gabriel had been on a work break from his job as a Domino’s delivery driver when a vehicle pulled up, a passenger exited and fired multiple close-range shots before fleeing. Officers were dispatched after a 4:52 p.m. call and Gabriel was pronounced dead at the scene. His mother witnessed the shooting from inside their home and found him critically injured after hearing the gunfire.

Gabriel was a student in his final semester at Los Medanos College, planning to transfer to Cal State East Bay, and had worked as a delivery driver for more than four years to support his studies. Family and friends remember him for his laugh, love of basketball and video games, and 49ers fandom. No arrests have been announced and the suspect or suspects remain unidentified.
