OAKLAND — A 36-year-old man died Monday from injuries he suffered in a shooting nearly nine years ago in East Oakland and his death has been classified as a homicide, police said.
The man’s name was not immediately released by investigators. He was an Oakland resident at the time of the shooting.
The shooting happened just before 7:45 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2016, in the 10400 block of Edes Avenue, between 105th and Cary avenues.
The man, who was 27 at the time, was shot at least four times as he was getting out of a car, police said. A motive for the shooting has not been released, nor has any suspect information.
Some friends took him to a fire station at 98th Avenue and International Boulevard before he was transported to a hospital. He was eventually transferred to a convalescent facility, where he died, authorities said.
An autopsy Wednesday determined the man’s cause of death was a result of the gunshot wounds and it was ruled to be a homicide. It is the 64th homicide investigated by police this year.
About 10:46 p.m. the same night, a 23-year-old man was fatally shot in the 8000 block of Olive Street, a little more than two miles away. An arrest was later made in that case and police have said the two shootings are not related.
