1 Dead, Suspect At Large After Police Shooting Near CSU East Bay
HAYWARD (CBS SF) – One suspect is at large and one person had died following an officer-involved shooting Tuesday evening in Hayward, police said.
At 5:20 p.m., Fremont police detectives were in Hayward and located a vehicle, reported stolen, that was wanted in connection with multiple armed robberies in Fremont and throughout the Bay Area.
According to police, the detectives attempted to stop the vehicle at the City View apartment complex located at 25200 Carlos Bee Blvd. near the California State University, East Bay campus. As they approached and contacted the suspects inside the vehicle, the driver suddenly drove into the detective's police vehicles, injuring two Fremont police detectives.
During the incident, the detectives fired their weapons at the suspect driving the vehicle and struck a female occupant. The vehicle continued to drive out of the apartment complex, but eventually crashed near the intersection of Campus Drive and Oakes Drive, police said.
One male suspect allegedly fled the vehicle on foot and remains at large. He is described as a black man, heavy build, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with short hair, police said.
Another male and a second female occupant of the vehicle were taken into custody near the scene without further incident.
The female occupant who was struck by gunfire was treated by the Hayward Fire Department at the scene and then transported to a trauma center where she died of her injuries, police said. Her name is being withheld until her family is notified.
The two Fremont police detectives who were injured were treated and released from a local hospital.
University officials issued a shelter in place for the nearby student housing complex University Village, located at 25400 Carlos Bee Blvd, but it was later lifted. Classes at the University were not affected and people on the campus were not at risk, university officials said.
The Hayward Police Department is investigating this incident and conducted a search of the area for the male suspect who fled the scene. The Alameda County District Attorney's Office is also conducting an investigation.
Further details about this incident were not immediately available. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Hayward police Det. Steve Riley at (510) 293-7034 or HaywardPDTips@hayward-ca.gov.
