He is being held without bail and was scheduled to be arraigned Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities said that during an interview with investigators Evans denied involvement in the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>He is charged in the killing of Williams Ivan Parra-Carbajal, 41, who had addresses in San Leandro and Hayward. He was fatally shot about 11:30 a.m. June 14 as he drove a Tesla in the 1300 block of Seminary Avenue. He worked as a rideshare driver, but police said he was not working when he was shot.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the two men did not know each other, and have not confirmed a motive. They are trying to determine why the men were in Oakland. A longtime friend of Parra-Carbajal said he was expecting him at the friend\u2019s home in another part of Alameda County later in the day to hang out and possibly watch a World Cup soccer match.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators were able to identify Evans as the suspect through surveillance footage, witness statements and electronic evidence, court records say.
