OAKLAND — An 18-year-old man was killed and three other people, including a 17-year-old boy, were wounded in a shooting Wednesday evening outside an East Oakland mini-market, police said Thursday.

A motive has not been released and no suspects have been arrested.

The name of the man killed was not released.  Nor were the names of the 17-year-old and the two men, ages  25 and 29, who were wounded.

The shooting was reported about 5:31 p.m. Wednesday in the 8900 block of MacArthur Boulevard outside the mini-market.

Police said those shot were part of a group of people standing on the sidewalk when at least one person began shooting at them.

At least two of the men shot, including the man who was killed, ran inside the store for cover. The man killed was pronounced dead at the scene.

The third wounded man was found in the area and the teenager got his own transportation to a hospital, authorities said.

The three wounded victims are expected to recover.

The shooter fled before police arrived.
