OAKLAND, Calif. —
Police officers are examining new clues in the shooting of a man walking a dog in the Oakland Hills.
Investigators are going thorough surveillance video that they’ve received of the night that man was shot on Elverton Drive.
Officers said that at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, a man was walking his dog along the 7000 block of Elverton Drive when he was approached by two men.

“He became extremely uncomfortable and wasn’t clear of exactly what was going on and felt that he was in danger,” said Johnna Watson, a spokeswoman for the Oakland Police Department.
Police said the man then turned to run away when he was shot in the arm.
Police said the two men hopped into a car after the shooting.
The victim’s injuries weren’t serious.
KTVU obtained a photo of the vehicle police believe the men used, which appears to be a dark-colored Japanese car. Investigators pulled the picture from surveillance video that they received from neighborhood residents.
“Our neighborhoods are watching you, our citizens are watching you and we are going take that information and we are going to watch you as well, and we are going to find you,” Watson said.
Many of the homes in the area have surveillance cameras; KTVU counted more than a half dozen. Police are asking residents to help in this investigation.
“If anyone has any information or if they have video surveillance, please, check it and contact the Oakland Police Department,” Watson added.
KTVU rode along Friday with an Oakland police officer who is patrolling an area where the shooting occurred. Police said there’s been a rash of burglaries in the area, although it’s still unclear if that was the intent of the latest crime.
