Teen Injured in Early-Morning I-580 Shooting Between Oakland and San Leandro

The California Highway Patrol says the investigation is ongoing, no suspect or motive has been identified, and it is urging anyone with information to contact the CHP Golden Gate Division.

Overview

  • CHP officers say a shooting occurred just before 2 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 580 between Oakland and San Leandro and they were alerted to the incident shortly after it happened.
  • Victims drove off the freeway to the 150th Avenue and Freedom Avenue area in San Leandro to wait for help, where officers located an injured teenage passenger in a secondary location.
  • The teenager suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and is expected to survive.
  • As of Saturday afternoon the CHP described the case as an active investigation with no known suspect or motive and asked the public to contact its Golden Gate Division with tips.
  • Some early headlines described a 'suspect on the run,' a claim not supported by CHP statements in the reporting, and investigators note freeway scenes can complicate evidence collection and witness accounts as the probe continues.
