Wednesday night’s victim was a 43-year-old San Leandro man. He was in stable condition with a single gunshot wound, authorities said.
He was shot around 7:49 p.m. Wednesday in the 500 block of 25th Street, just west of Telegraph Avenue.
Police said initial reports were that the man had been visiting relatives in the area and was walking on the sidewalk when he got into a verbal confrontation with possibly two people and was shot.
He was taken by ambulance to a hospital. The suspects fled before police could respond.
Investigators are trying to determine what the confrontation was over. No arrests have been made and no suspect information has been released.
