OAKLAND — One man was killed and three other men wounded in separate shootings that happened within four hours Friday night in different areas of the city, authorities said.
None of the shootings appear to be related, police said.
An arrest was made in one of the nonfatal shootings, police said.
The fatal shooting happened about 11:55 p.m. Friday outside in the 8400 block of International Boulevard.
Officers responding to a gunshot detection system alert found a 37-year-old Berkeley man bleeding and unresponsive from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. His name has not yet been released.
Police don’t have a motive yet for the shooting and are trying to determine if the man was shot by someone who approached him on the street or fired at him from a passing vehicle. No arrests have been made.
Police believe the man was in Oakland to attend a social function in the area.
The killing is the 40th homicide investigated by Oakland police this year. Last year at this time police had investigated 45 homicides in the city.
About 11:09 p.m. a 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen as he sat in a parked car in the 3800 block of Masterson Street in the Laurel district. He was able to run to a nearby home where police and paramedics were called. He was taken to a hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
Authorities said it appears the man was shot by at least one person standing outside the vehicle. A motive for the shooting is under investigation and no arrests have been made.
About 9:40 p.m. a 29-year-old man was wounded in the upper torso outside in the area of the 5100 block of International Boulevard. He got his own transportation to a hospital and was in stable condition.
Police believe the man was hit by a stray bullet and was not an intended target. Investigators are trying to determine who fired the shot and why. No arrests have been made.
The shooting where an arrest was made happened about 8:30 p.m. outside in the 900 block of Jackson Street in the Chinatown area.
A 47-year-old man was shot in the torso after getting into an argument with another man, police said. Police arrested the suspect, a 50-year-old man, at the scene, but have not said what the argument was about or if the men knew each other.
