A 22-year-old woman shot late Wednesday night in East Oakland is in stable condition, police told the East Bay Times.
The Oakland Police Department didn’t respond to KCBS Radio's request for comment prior to publication. We will update this story when we hear back.
The woman told police an SUV stopped on the 6300 block of Eastlawn Street near 63rd Avenue while she was walking home from a store at around 10:15 p.m. She told police a man inside the car, whom she didn't recognize, said something to her before shooting her in the abdomen.
The woman was able to get herself to a nearby hospital.
Police are still looking for the suspect, who fled the scene after the shooting. Authorities are also trying to figure out the motive, according to the paper, considering whether it is a case of mistaken identity.
