Two Brothers Charged with Murder and Attempted Robbery in San Leandro
September 24, 2024
OAKLAND, CA — Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price announces that two brothers, Erick Moreno (18) and Mauricio Moreno (28), are each charged with one count of murder for the death of Anderson Choy. The two defendants are also charged with a second count of attempted second-degree robbery.
The criminal complaint states that on or about May 5, 2024, Mr. Choy was allegedly confronted by the two Moreno brothers as the victim was pulling a vehicle into the driveway of a residential neighborhood in San Leandro. It is further alleged that one of the defendants was armed with a gun and fired the fatal shot into the vehicle, killing Mr. Choy.
“Mr. Choy’s death underscores the sadness and grave consequences of gun violence in this community,” said DA Price. What is alleged here not only resulted in the tragic loss of life but also deeply impacted a family who now mourns the death of their loved one. My office is committed to holding those accountable who use guns to rob, injure, and take the lives of people here in Alameda County.”
Erick and Mauricio Moreno are scheduled to appear for an attorney and plea hearing on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, in Department 702 at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin.
