OAKLAND — An 18-year-old woman who died from gunshot wounds in San Francisco last month was actually shot in Oakland, and police homicide detectives in the East Bay have taken over the investigation, authorities said Wednesday.

The name of the woman killed was not immediately released. Police said she was a San Francisco resident.

The woman was dropped off at a San Francisco hospital about 11:30 p.m. May 22 and died from her wounds a short time later, authorities said.
