OAKLAND — A 20-year-old woman was killed and another woman wounded just over an hour apart in shootings early Friday in different areas of the city, authorities said.
The shootings were not related, authorities said.
The fatal shooting happened at about 2:33 a.m. Friday in the 1400 block of 20th Avenue in East Oakland.
Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found the 20-year-old woman, whose last confirmed address was in Fresno, on the pavement suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe she was shot after getting into a dispute with another person, who fled before police arrived.
Police were trying to confirm why the woman was in Oakland and determine the motive for the shooting.
The killing is the 83rd homicide investigated by Oakland police this year. Last year at this time police had investigated 64 homicides in the city.
The non-fatal shooting happened at about 1:10 a.m. Friday at a homeless encampment in the 3400 block of Wood Street in West Oakland, authorities said.
A 31-year-old woman was found inside a parked RV suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition.
It was not immediately clear if the woman lived at the camp or was visiting there. Authorities said she got into an argument with a man outside the RV and went inside. The man fired one shot into the RV from outside, wounding the woman, and then fled on foot before police arrived.
Police have not yet said if the victim knew the shooter. Investigators were trying to confirm what the argument was about.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money in the fatal shooting and up to $5,000 in the other shooting for information leading to the arrests of the suspects.
