A shooting in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood Saturday night left a man severely wounded, according to police. The shooting occurred just before 7 p.m. Saturday evening in the 1700 block of Fruitvale Avenue, police officers stated. The man who was wounded was transported to a local hospital and was reported to be in grave condition, according to Oakland police. The shooting occurred after the man became involved in a confrontation with a group of men.

"The primary factor is the lack of direct marketing for Fruitvale as a destination, which Prado believes limits the potential for neighborhood businesses."
