A person who died from gunshot wounds in Oakland late Wednesday night was shot on city streets, not on a freeway as authorities initially reported, police said Thursday afternoon.
Authorities initially responded to the scene at eastbound Interstate 580 and Park Boulevard to investigate a reported crash, the California Highway Patrol said.
When CHP and Oakland police officers arrived at the scene, they found the driver of a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds who was pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.
I-580 eastbound remained closed overnight Thursday from Grande Avenue to Park Boulevard during the investigation. All lanes reopened just before 5 a.m., the CHP said.
No further details were immediately available.
