OAKLAND -- Two men died and another was wounded in two separate shootings in Oakland on Monday, police said Tuesday.

Monday evening, an Oakland man was apparently shot and crashed a vehicle just before 9:30 p.m. on the 3600 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way, near Grove Shafter Park.
Officers were sent to the area to investigate a crash involving a moving vehicle and a parked one. When officers arrived, citizens were giving aid to the Oakland man who had apparently been shot, police said.
Medical personnel arrived and pronounced the man dead, according to police.
