Two people were wounded in a double shooting near Alameda’s Crown Memorial State Beach yesterday, rattling nearby residents and beachgoers. Police and emergency crews rushed to the area after reports of gunfire around 9 PM near Park Street and Shoreline Drive. The victims were taken to local hospitals, and authorities have not yet disclosed their conditions.
According to KTVU, Alameda police said the first 911 calls came in around 9 PM, and officers remained on scene late into the night. Investigators described the case as an active investigation in its early stages, with no suspects identified and no clear motive yet.
Background: Crown Beach Crowd Warnings Earlier This Year
In March, local officials warned that unpermitted “beach takeover” gatherings at Crown Memorial State Beach could attract large, late-night crowds and fuel fights, which led Alameda police and East Bay park rangers to boost patrols in the area, as reported by Hoodline. That history has kept a close watch on Shoreline Drive and the nearby parking lots when the weather warms up.
Investigators Search For Witnesses
Alameda police are asking anyone who may have information, video or tips about the shooting to contact investigators. According to KTVU, the department has not released additional details, and officials said it is too soon to say whether any arrests have been made.
What Residents Should Know
People heading to the beach or passing through nearby neighborhoods should expect a visible police presence as detectives follow leads and process the scene. This story will be updated as Alameda police release more information.
