Man Sitting In Car Shot Dead In Oakland

OAKLAND (CBS SF) - A 26-year-old Oakland man was fatally shot while sitting in his car Monday evening.

Jeffery Nichols was shot at 7:20 p.m. in the 9500 block of Golf Links Road, spokeswoman Cynthia Perkins said.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, and later died from his injuries, Perkins said.

Few details about the shooting were available this morning, she said.
