A 21-year-old man was shot and later died following a car crash last week in Hayward, police said.
The incident happened last Friday just after 11 p.m. as officers responded to the crash on Foothill Blvd. south of Hazel Ave. When they got to the scene, the man was found inside the vehicle – which had "major front-end damage" and was facing southbound on Foothill Blvd. – suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
He was taken to a nearby hospital where he later was pronounced dead. His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, police added.
Investigators aren't sure if other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Anyone with information is asked call 510-293-7176.
"We want to thank the community for their patience as we continue this investigation," authorities said in a news release.
