OAKLAND — A 32-year-old Los Angeles man was killed and three other people were wounded Tuesday night in a shooting in the Jack London Square area, authorities said.
The killing was the 86th and last homicide of 2024 investigated by Oakland police. It was the third homicide to occur Tuesday and the sixth in the city since last Thursday.
The three wounded were a 22-year-old Fairfield woman, a 21-year-old Newark man and a 25-year-old Sacramento man, authorities said. All of them were in stable condition.
The shooting happened about 10:20 p.m. Tuesday outside in the 200 block of Second Street.
Police said the people shot were among a group planning to attend an event in the area. It was not immediately known if any of those shot knew each other.
As the group was standing outside at least one person began shooting at them, police said. Police have not yet said if the shooter was also standing outside or was firing from a vehicle.
The Los Angeles man, whose name has not yet been released, got his own transportation to a hospital in another city before he was transferred to an Oakland hospital where he later died.
The other two men shot got their own rides to a hospital and the woman was transported from the scene by an ambulance to a hospital.
Homicide investigators are trying to determine a motive for the shooting and whether any of those shot were the intended targets. No suspect information has been released.
Anyone with information about the shooting may call police at 510-238-3821 or 510-238-7950. Anyone with videos or photos related to the shooting can email them to cidvideo@oaklandca.gov.

A 25-year-old man was fatally shot Monday night in East Oakland, a man was fatally shot Friday night in East Oakland and a man was fatally shot Thursday afternoon, also in East Oakland.
