Police search for suspects after fatal shooting in East Oakland

Police were searching for two men in East Oakland Tuesday evening whom they believe fatally shot a man earlier in the day, officials said.

Dispatchers received reports of gunfire on the 7000 block of Hawley Avenue, just east of the Coliseum BART Station just before 5 p.m., police said.

Officers arriving on the scene found a man in a car suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Medics attempted to revive him, but he died at the scene, police said.

BART police officers chased two men who fled from the scene in a vehicle, eventually ditching the car and running, but as of 8 p.m., no arrests had been made.

Officers continued to search for the men in the area between High Street and 50th Avenue, as well as along the train tracks that run parallel to San Leandro Street, police said.

A description of the suspects was not immediately available, police said.
