OAKLAND — A 20-year-old man who, with his stepfather, was following his stolen SUV from Redwood City was shot multiple times Friday morning by at least one of the suspects in East Oakland, where the stolen vehicle had been rammed to a stop, authorities said.
The wounded man was in stable condition. His stepfather was not injured.
The violent incident began about 3 a.m. Friday in Redwood City where the two men were awakened by the sound of the younger man’s 2011 Kia Soul being stolen from outside their home, police said.
The two men got into another vehicle and, with the stepfather driving, began following the Kia, authorities said.
The Kia stopped once at a Menlo Park gas station before driving away again with the two men still following, authorities said.
