SAN LEANDRO — Police are investigating a shooting that left one woman with nonlife-threatening injuries and were searching for a carjacker in the same crime scene area Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities Wednesday evening were trying to determine if the incidents were related.

The first incident began about 2:30 p.m. when a man armed with a handgun forced a driver out of a green Dodge Caravan in front of the Black Angus Steakhouse at 15800 Hesperian Blvd. in San Lorenzo, said Lt. D.C. Alvey of the Alameda County Sheriff's Department.

The carjacker drove away on northbound Hesperian Boulevard. A California Highway Patrol officer spotted the vehicle on northbound Interstate 880 after hearing a broadcast and description of the stolen car and began pursuing. The man left the freeway at Davis Street in San Leandro, but crashed on the off-ramp.

He got out of the vehicle and fled into a residential neighborhood.

The carjacker, described as a black man dressed in a black-hooded sweatshirt, then tried to carjack another motorist on Gilmore Drive but was unsuccessful, Alvey said.

Police then set up a perimeter for about an hour-and-a-half in the neighborhood between Pearson and Pierce avenues, just south of Davis Street, but could not find him. Officers holding shotguns stood at various street corners.

There were no reports of injuries during the carjacking, Alvey said.
