Font ResizeOAKLAND -- A man fatally shot Sunday night while in a minivan near the East Oakland hills was identified Monday as 25-year-old Vernon Morgan.
Police said Morgan's most recent address appears to be in Oakland, but he also had addresses in Antioch and possibly Brentwood.
The shooting happened about 5:25 p.m. Sunday on Kuhnle Avenue near Mountain Boulevard not far from the Seminary Avenue offramp from westbound Interstate 580.
