At about 2:15pm Tuesday, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office responded to a drive-by shooting that had just occurred at Primo Market in the 800 block of S. First Street.

The caller reported someone in a sedan had just shot at people in a pickup truck, before both vehicles fled the area.

Deputies arrived on scene and confirmed there had been a shooting, as there were several shell casings at the scene.

A short time later, a victim arrived at Emanuel Medical Center with numerous gunshot wounds. He is believed to have been a passenger in the pickup.

A deputy responded to the hospital and contacted the victim, who was uncooperative and didn’t want to provide any information.

Through the investigation, the incident was determined to be gang-related and a suspect vehicle was identified.

Deputies located the suspect vehicle and detained two people, but haven’t decided yet if they’re going to make any arrests.

“The lack of cooperation has created a challenge moving forward,” said Sergeant Schwartz.

The investigation remains ongoing.
