OAKLAND — A 30-year-old man was shot early Thursday by a man who confronted him as he was walking to his East Oakland home, authorities said.
The man was reported to be in stable condition at a hospital, where he was being treated for a wound to his neck, authorities said.
The shooting happened about 2:22 a.m. Thursday in the 1200 block of 65th Avenue.
The man told police he was walking from work to his home in the area when a man confronted him on the sidewalk.
After the suspect asked the 30-year-old victim some questions — police did not specify what was said — the suspect pulled a gun and shot him before fleeing on foot.
The victim told police he did not know the man who shot him. Investigators were working to figure out why the man was confronted and shot. A detailed description of the suspect was not released.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
