A 24-year-old man was killed and a woman was wounded when an assailant opened fire on the couple while they sat in a car Monday in East Oakland, police said.

Czerney Scott was in a vehicle with the unidentified woman on the 1900 block of 62nd Avenue — one block from Greenleaf Elementary School — when they were struck by gunfire around 6:30 p.m., police said.

Officers arrived at the scene and found the car had been shot up, but no suspect was in the area.

Paramedics took the couple to a hospital, where Scott was pronounced dead.

The woman was treated for gunshot wounds and was in stable condition Tuesday morning, said Officer Johnna Watson, an Oakland police spokeswoman.

No suspects were arrested in the killing, the 79th homicide this year in Oakland, police said.
