Person fatally shot on freeway in San Leandro

An individual was found fatally shot on Interstate 880 in San Leandro early Saturday, police said.

Shortly after 2 a.m., California Highway Patrol officers already on the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on northbound I-880 at Marina Boulevard heard shots being fired north of where they were, the San Leandro Police Department said. A portion of the freeway had already been closed for the accident investigation.

CHP officers noticed one car parked north of the Marina Boulevard overpass on the right shoulder. They discovered an individual who had been shot. The victim, who was not immediately identified, was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The northbound lanes of the freeway were closed from 2 to 6:30 a.m. so officers could examine the scene. Police are investigating the case as a homicide, and no arrests have been made.
