A 20-year-old man was killed and a woman was wounded early Tuesday when they were shot by apparent robbers as they sat in a car in East Oakland, police said.

The victims, whose names were not immediately released, were sitting in a car on the 1300 block of 75th Avenue when they were confronted by assailants about 12:30 a.m.

During the incident, the robbers opened fire, hitting the man, who works as a security guard, and the 24-year-old woman before stealing personal property from her, police said.

The woman suffered a gunshot wound to her arm that was not life-threatening, police said.

No arrest has been made.
