OAKLAND, Calif. —

Police in Oakland detained several people after a 10-hour standoff with a possible homicide suspect early Sunday, an officer said.

Officers detained at least seven people at a residence in the 1400 block of 25th Avenue for questioning in connection with a fatal shooting that took place earlier that morning, Oakland police Officer J. Moore said.

The standoff began after two men pulled up to Highland Hospital at around 1:20 a.m., bleeding from gunshot wounds.

One of the victims had been shot in the neck and he later died from his injuries.

The second victim was still in a serious condition as of Sunday afternoon, Moore said.

Police traced a potential suspect to the residence on 25th Avenue and established a perimeter.

As of 8 a.m., dozens of officers were positioned around the home and were waiting to make contact with the suspect, police said.

Sometime before 9 a.m., SWAT officers were recorded escorting a man in cuffs to nearby vehicle, but officers on scene would not confirm if it was the suspect.

The scene was cleared at about 11:30 a.m., according to police.

It was not immediately clear if the shooting suspect was among those detained, Moore said.

No additional details about the search, or the suspect, were immediately available.
