Twenty-year-old David Barnett, wanted as a suspect in the killing of 42-year-old Harold Leaks of Oakland, was arrested Thursday afternoon in Livermore and booked on murder charges, police said.

The first arrest in the case came on March 24, when Vallejo officers and the San Francisco police SWAT team arrested 22-year-old Deante Reed of Richmond.

At the time, Reed, who was booked for murder and firearm and weapons violations, was also wanted in connection with a murder in Richmond, Vallejo police said.

Leaks was found unresponsive on the sidewalk at Maine and Sacramento streets on the evening of Sept. 2, 2020 and was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Craig Long at 707-648-4514.
