According to The Mercury News, the shooting happened at about 2:30 PM after the woman got into an argument with a man in the parking lot. Police said the man she had been arguing with is the suspected shooter, although investigators have not released a detailed description. Detectives are still working to determine what sparked the dispute and whether the two knew each other.
Police ask for tips and media
Oakland police are asking anyone who saw what happened, or who captured it on camera, to contact investigators. The department commonly directs the public to call the Criminal Investigations Division at (510) 238-3744 and to email photos or video to [email protected], according to the Oakland Police Department.
International Boulevard has seen recent shootings
The 10100 block of International Boulevard and nearby stretches have already seen repeated gunfire and police responses this year, underscoring ongoing violence along the busy East Oakland corridor. Past coverage of a fatal shooting in the same block earlier in 2025 has shown how often detectives lean on community video and tip lines to build cases, as reported by CBS News.
Police have not announced any arrests in Saturday’s case and say they are continuing to follow leads. Anyone with tips or footage tied to the shooting is urged to contact investigators. The Mercury News reported that detectives remained on the scene as they continued their work.
