Overview
- Jason Elola, 49, died after a roadside fight that followed a minor collision near Wilbeam and Norbridge avenues in Castro Valley.
- Investigators said 37-year-old Martin W. Davis Jr. was arrested on suspicion of murder after initially leaving, calling CHP’s non-emergency line, returning to the scene, and cooperating.
- The Alameda County online inmate database no longer lists Davis, and the district attorney’s office has not announced formal charges or explained his custody status.
- The coroner has not yet determined Elola’s cause of death, and the case remains under review.
- Detectives are seeking cellphone or dashcam footage and witness accounts, directing tips to Detective Jawad Hammad at 510-459-8095 or the sheriff’s tip line at 510-667-3622; a verified GoFundMe for the family has raised more than $36,000.
