1 Dead, 1 Hurt In Shooting At Hayward BART Station

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

HAYWARD (CBS 5 / AP / BCN) ― Police were looking for a person of interest in connection with a shooting at the Hayward Bay Area Rapid Transit station Monday afternoon that killed a teenager and wounded another person.

BART spokesman Linton Johnson said the shootings took place around 12:40 p.m. as several young men were standing near the station's entrance.

One of the victims, a teenager, collapsed near the station agent's fare gate booth. He was taken to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Johnson said a middle-aged man was also struck by gunfire. He lost consciousness and collapsed outside the station. The man was hospitalized with injuries not considered to be life-threatening and was expected to survive.

Authorities described the person of interest as a black male in his mid-teens who is dark-complexioned and wears his hair in cornrows that go past his neck line in the back.

Johnson said the teenager, who was spotted on a surveillance video at the Hayward station, has an average build and was wearing a lightweight black jacket or sweatshirt with a white shirt underneath.

The youth fled the station area on foot with several other people after the shootings and was last seen headed toward A Street.

Trains did not stop at the Hayward station following the incident and additional Alameda-Contra Costa Transit bus service was run between the South Hayward and Hayward BART stations.

"We are not stopping at the Hayward station at this time; it is considered a crime scene," BART spokeswoman Luna Salaver said.

The closure, which lasted more than five hours, did not delay BART service.

BART police were investigating the shooting and asked witnesses to come forward by calling them at (877) 679-7000 ext. 7040.
