Officers were initially called to the 1800 block of Benedict Drive around 6:25 p.m. for a report of a solo-vehicle collision, the San Leandro Police Department said in a news release Tuesday. They arrived to find the driver suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later pronounced dead by paramedics, according to police.
Police said they believe the fatal shooting happened in the same general area just before the crash. That stretch of Benedict Drive is between Estudillo and Grand avenues, just above Interstate 580. Additional details about the homicide were not released Tuesday.
“We will release more information when appropriate as the investigation unfolds,” police said.
Anyone with information related to the case can contact Sgt. Jason Vincent at 510-577-0656 or the tip line at 510-577-3278.
