Oakland Birthday Party Ends In Gunfire, Death

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

OAKLAND (AP) ― A San Leandro man is dead and a woman hospitalized after a shooting at an East Oakland birthday party over the weekend.

Police say the trouble began when 29-year-old Armando Gonzalez beat up a man who was harassing a woman at the party early Sunday morning.

The man who was beaten retrieved a gun and opened fire on Gonzalez as he and his 20-year-old cousin walked away from the house.

Gonzalez died at the scene.

His cousin was taken to a local hospital where police say she was in critical but stable condition with non-life-threatening wounds.

Her name has not been released, but investigators say she was not the woman who was being harassed.

Police are still trying to identify and find the suspect.
