Dense populations of stars surround the nuclear regions of galaxies. In this work, we study the interaction of a WR star with relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei. A bow-shaped double-shock structure will form as a consequence of the interaction of the jet and the wind of the star. Particles can be accelerated up to relativistic energies in these shocks and emit high-energy radiation. We compute the produced gamma-ray emission obtaining that this radiation may be significant. This emission is expected to be particularly relevant for nearby non-blazar sources.
