OAKLAND — A man killed Nov. 19 when he was struck by a freight train in East Oakland was identified by the coroner’s bureau Monday.
San Leandro police had put out a missing persons report on the man, 79-year-old Jiankang Huang, the day before.
Huang was killed instantly about 2:54 a.m. Nov. 19, when he was struck by a Union Pacific freight train while reportedly sitting on the railroad tracks in the area of 60th Avenue and San Leandro Street.
The site is a little over three miles from a senior citizens housing complex in the 200 block of East 14th Street in San Leandro where he had been living. Huang, who authorities said suffered from dementia, had been reported missing to San Leandro police about 2 p.m. Nov. 18.
San Leandro police had alerted the media and other police agencies and distributed flyers with Huang’s picture.
He had been previously reported as a missing person in August and in February 2023 from the same facility, authorities said, but had been found safely both times.
The facility where he had been living, Broadmoor Plaza, referred an inquiry to their corporate office in Southern California. An inquiry to that office had not been returned as of Monday afternoon.
Another man who died after being struck by an Amtrak train Nov. 18 in the Fruitvale district of Oakland still has not been positively identified by the coroner’s bureau.
