OAKLAND — Two men were fatally shot less than four hours apart early Friday morning in different areas of the city, authorities said.

Their names have not yet been released. Police said the killings were not related.

About 4:18 a.m. Friday a 47-year-old man was found fatally shot in the 1400 block of Third Street near Center Street in West Oakland outside his parked RV.

Authorities said the man had apparently been living in the RV in the area for some time. That portion of Third Street is just below Interstate 880 and not far from South Prescott Park.

A motive for the killing has not been determined yet and no arrests have been made.

With the two killings, the first since April 18, Oakland police have now investigated 48 homicides in the city this year. Last year at this time police had investigated 20 homicides in the city.
