Officers canvass broad scene in the Clawson neighborhood
OAKLAND — Police were at the scene of a shooting in a West Oakland neighborhood that killed one person and injured another, authorities said Monday.
Just before 8 p.m., police responded to reports of ShotSpotter activity in the 2800 block of Filbert Street in the city’s Clawson neighborhood, an Oakland police spokesman said.
When officers arrived, they found an unconscious man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds as well as a struck vehicle and multiple rifle casings nearby.
After providing emergency life-saving measures, firefighters and paramedics helped transport the man to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Soon after, officers found a second man who was conscious and suffering from a gunshot wound to his wrist in the 3200 block of Linden Street. Officers provided treatment to the man and transferred him to paramedics. His condition was not immediately available Monday night.
Officers blocked off southbound traffic on Linden at 32nd Street, using crime-scene tape for multiple blocks nearby to canvass for additional evidence.
The killing is the 13th homicide investigated by Oakland police this year. Only one homicide was recorded in Oakland for all of last January.
