HAYWARD — One of two teenagers injured in a shooting in Hayward last week has died, police said Thursday.
The teens, ages 17 and 18, were struck by gunfire near the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Industrial Parkway on June 27.
The 18-year-old, a Pleasanton resident, suffered serious injuries and was taken off life support Wednesday, Hayward police said. His name has not been released.
The 17-year-old, also from Pleasanton, was treated at a local hospital and has since been released.
The shooting was reported around 11:11 p.m. on June 27 and the victims were found near 100 West Tennyson Road after they fled and called 911 for help.
There is no indication that the shooting is related to a murder on June 26, but it has not been ruled out, police said.
In that case, a 15-year-old boy from Rodeo was found shot to death around 2 a.m. near the 24000 block of Second Street, police said.
At approximately 2:15 a.m., officers received reports that a second shooting victim had gone to a local medical facility for treatment.
The victim, a 13-year-old boy from Hayward, was in critical but stable condition, police said.
“Any loss of life is heartbreaking, and the loss of such young members of our community is even harder to comprehend,” said Hayward Police Chief Bryan Matthews. “Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims of this incident.”
