 A man died after being shot at an East Oakland motorcycle club, police said today.

The man was shot at about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday at the East Bay Dragons motorcycle club near the corner of 88th Avenue and International Boulevard, authorities said.

The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to Highland Hospital in Oakland, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made.

The East Bay Dragons is an African American motorcycle club whose members have "secured their place as modern urban folk heroes alongside the Hells Angels, the Oakland Raiders and the Black Panthers," the group's website said.

On May 29, LaToya Kenny, 28, of Union City and Eric Bush, 29, of San Leandro were killed in a shooting during an illegal car rally known as a "sideshow" on the same block. Authorities said the motorcycle clubhouse was closed at the time.
