The man was found bleeding outside his vehicle by police and was taken to a hospital.

Residents in the area reported hearing an argument of some kind before the gunfire, authorities said. Police said it appears the man was shot by at least two and possibly more people while he was sitting in his vehicle. The shooters then fled in a vehicle.

Why the man was in Oakland and why he was shot are under investigation. No arrests have been made and no suspect information has been released.

Anyone with information about the shooting may call investigators at 510-238-3426.
