On Tuesday, December 20th, 2022, at 3:20 am, the Turlock Police Department was dispatched to a reported weapon offense that had just occurred in front of a residence in the 800 block of E Monte Vista Ave, Turlock, after a woman had believed that someone had shot a gun up into the air in front of her house.
Officers arrived on scene and instead found evidence of a drive-by shooting, with damage to the house and two vehicles, as well as at least 11 shell casings laying in the roadway. The shell casings were collected and booked into evidence.
Surveillance camera video was reviewed which showed the suspect vehicle to be a small light-colored sedan, possibly a Nissan.
The victim gave officers the name of who she believed the shooter was, an either 17 or 18-year-old boy who her son has been having issues with since junior high.
No injuries were reported.
The investigation remains ongoing, anyone with information that could assist in the investigation is encouraged to call Officer Marco Diaz at 209-668-1200.
