One Killed, Three Injured in Oakland Shootings

A man killed and a woman wounded during an apparent robbery in East Oakland early this morning were the latest in a spate of shootings that injured two other men earlier Monday night, according to police.

The homicide victim was found when police responded to reports of gunfire in the 1300 block of 75th Avenue at 12:36 a.m., police said.

The victims, a 20-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, were found suffering gunshot wounds inside a car parked there. Both were taken to a hospital where the man was pronounced dead, police said. The woman’s injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The suspects ran from the shooting scene with the woman’s property. Homicide investigators are looking into the shooting, but police have not identified or arrested any suspects.

Two earlier shootings at around 10:30 p.m. Monday left two men injured. One man arrived at a hospital at about that time after he was shot in the 7600 block of Halliday Avenue, near the corner of 76th and Bancroft
avenues. The man’s injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

Then at 10:40 p.m., police received reports of gunshots in the 7500 block of Hillside Boulevard. A man found suffering gunshot wounds there was taken to a hospital in stable condition. Police have not located or identified any suspects in either shooting.
