The San Leandro Police Department has apprehended a suspect in the city’s first homicide of the year, with the death of 47-year-old Ryan Christie. According to a release from the San Leandro Police Department, officers discovered Christie on the morning of June 14, lying unresponsive on the ground at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and East 14th Street, his pet dog still leashed to his hand.
