OAKLAND (BCN)

A man was in stable condition on Saturday after he was shot and robbed of his laptop Friday night while waiting at a North Oakland bus stop, police said.

Officers responded at 9:24 p.m. to reports of the shooting in the 6100 block of Adeline Street and found the gunshot victim nearby in the 800 block of Stanford Avenue, according to Oakland police.

He was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition on Saturday, police said.

“Someone had come up in a mask, asked for his laptop,” former paramedic Brian Veivia told NBC Bay Area. Veivia lives in the area and responded to the scene when he heard the gunshot. “He actually said he was on his laptop and somebody asked for it. I think he said he refused, and the guy shot him.”

Police did not release any other details about the robbery or how many suspects were involved.

This is the second laptop theft case in Oakland recently that has turned violent. Two convicted robbers were charged for their roles in the death of a man who died after trying to get back his laptop computer, which was stolen Dec. 31, 2019 while he worked in a Starbucks in Montclair.

The Alameda County District Attorney's Office charged Byron OJ Reed Jr., 22, of San Francisco, with murder and the special circumstance of committing a murder during a robbery.

Javon Lee, 21, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and both men were charged with second-degree robbery.

The robbery in the 2000 block of Mountain Boulevard, shortly after 11:30 a.m., ultimately claimed the life of 34-year-old Shuo Zeng.
