OAKLAND -- A member of the East Bay Dragons Motorcycle Club was fatally shot Tuesday night at the organization's clubhouse, police said.
He was identified as Hassan Arif Sayyid, 40, of Oakland.
The clubhouse is located in the 8700 block of International Boulevard but police said the shooting happened in a garage-lounge area of the building which is in the 1300 block of 88th Avenue.
Officer Doug Keely said Wednesday that Sayyid and possibly some other men were inside watching television about 9:45 p.m. when a gunman came in through an open door and began shooting.
Sayyid was hit more than once and died at Highland Hospital at 11:21 p.m.
Anyone else who may have been with him left before officers arrived and it is not known if they were injured, police said.
Keely said police don't have a motive yet for the killing and no arrests have been made.
The motorcycle club has been a fixture in East Oakland since the late 1950s. Sayyid's nickname was 'Ike' and police were told that he was to start a job with the city of Oakland next week.
