FROM STAFF REPORTS

OAKLAND — A woman was shot to death and seven other people wounded by gunfire in different incidents in a three-hour period early today in East Oakland, police said.

Police said it was too early to say if any of the incidents were related, but early indications were that they were not.

In the fatal shooting, a woman was found about 3:51 a.m. today lying on the sidewalk in the 2200 block of 90th Avenue at Dowling Street. She was taken to Highland Hospital where she died at 4:25 a.m.

Police believe the victim is 52 and lives in the area. But she had not been positively identified this morning.

Sgt. George Phillips said police have no witnesses, motive or suspects in the killing.

The slaying was Oakland's 90th homicide of the year. Last year at this time there were 87 homicides.

Details about the non-fatal shootings were sketchy.

The first happened about 2 a.m. when a man was shot in the foot in the 7800 block of International Boulevard by a man who fled in a car. No motive was known.

At 2:30 a.m. a man was shot in the arm in the 4800 block of International. No arrests were made and no motive was known.

At 2:40 a.m. a woman with a shoulder wound drove to the Eastmont police substation telling officers there she had been shot in an attempted carjacking at Havenscourt and Foothill boulevards. No arrests were made.

And about 4:41 a.m. four people were shot in the 5000 block of Foothill Boulevard, possibly inside a house.

All four suffered non-threatening wounds to their legs and feet, police said. Three adults went to one local hospital and a juvenile to another hospital. No suspects were arrested and information about a possible motive was not available.

Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money in the homicide and up to $5,000 in each of the other cases. Anyone with information can call police at (510) 238-3821 or (510) 238-3426 or Crime Stoppers at (510) 777-8572 or (510) 777-3211.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
