FATAL SHOOTING IN HAYWARD Two people were killed and two others injured in what appears to be a targeted shooting outside a hookah lounge in Hayward early Saturday morning.
The shooting happened at the former Asli Hookah Lounge & Smoke Shop at 21272 Mission Blvd., which the sheriff's office said had been recently shut down by the city after being designated as a nuisance in the neighborhood. At the time of the shooting, all the signage at the establishment had been taken down so it appeared it was closed.
The shooting was reported at 1:38 a.m.; sheriff's deputies arrived within five minutes and immediately saw one person dead in front of the business. Dispatchers then received calls from local hospitals reporting three gunshot wound victims arriving. One of the victims died from injuries at a hospital.
The sheriff's office said the shooting was not random; it appeared two entities showed up, some kind of altercation ensued and a shootout began. No suspect information was available but the sheriff's office said there was no ongoing threat to the public. The sheriff's office said the department's crime prevention and reduction unit had been dealing with the problems attributed to the hookah lounge for the last two years. The facility did not have permits to sell alcohol or tobacco.
Mission Boulevard in Hayward was closed to traffic Saturday morning between Cherry Way and Grove Way as as Alameda County Sheriff's Deputies investigated a shooting.
