OAKLAND — A security guard who was shot during an attempted robbery while accompanying a KRON-TV Channel 4 news crew has died from injuries, authorities said.
The guard, whose identity has not been released, died Saturday morning at Highland Hospital and was taken to the Alameda County Coroner’s Office in a caravan that included police from San Jose, Hayward and Colma, where the victim had previously worked as an officer, authorities said.
The KRON4 news crew had been covering a recent robbery of a clothing store on the 300 block of 14th Street in Oakland on Wednesday when an assailant tried to steal the station’s camera equipment.
The guard was shot during the ensuing attempted robbery, suffering a lower abdomen injury. He succumbed to injuries at 4:39 a.m. Saturday, authorities said.
Oakland police are investigating the shooting that led to the guard’s death.
A reward of $27,500 has been offered to anyone with information on the shooting, police said. KRON4, its parent company and the security guard’s employer all made contributions to the reward amount.
