Two shootings less than 2 hours apart on Saturday morning in East Oakland left 1 man dead and two other men injured, police said.

The other shooting occurred at about 7:55 a.m. in the 1400 block of 16th Avenue. Two men were in a car when another vehicle pulled up next to them and at least one occupant of that second vehicle began shooting at the men, police said.
One of the victims, a 24-year-old man, was beaten in the hand. The other, a 25-year-old man, suffered a foot injury. The shooter is wanted.
