A motive was not immediately known, and as of 8:40 p.m. there were no suspects, police said.
The man's death marked the city's 22nd homicide of the year.
Earlier Sunday, a 31-year-old Oakland man was shot while sitting inside a car, police said. That man, whose name has not been released, was shot around 10:05 a.m. in the 2400 block of 68th Avenue and died about 30 minutes later at a hospital.
Police said the man lived in the area where he was shot. A gunman fled in a vehicle with other occupants.
As of Sunday evening, no motive was known and no one had been arrested in that incident, police said.
