Police are investigating the shooting death of an 18-year-old Oakland man found in a crashed car in East Oakland, authorities said Saturday.

Officers went to the scene of a reported crash at Seminary Avenue and Foothill Boulevard at around 4 p.m. Friday, according to a statement released Saturday by the Oakland Police Department.

It was there that they found the man, who was not identified, suffering from a gunshot wound in one of the cars that had been involved in the crash, police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police had been sent to a ShotSpotter activation in the area of 77th and Bancroft avenues just before the crash and believe the crime scene there is associated with the incident at Seminary Avenue, they said.
