On January 13, 2015 at 9:55 in the morning, Pleasanton Police Officers were dispatched to the 1600 block of East Gate Way for the report of shots fired inside the Kensington Apartment complex. 19 year-old Nicole Thompson and 20 year-old Joseph Mauck, both of Pleasanton, said they were shot at by one individual and threatened by three others carrying baseball bats. The victims ran from the suspects and sustained no injuries. One of the suspects shattered the rear window of Thompson’s vehicle with the baseball bat. The suspects fled the area in a silver Infinity.
At 10:21a.m., the Livermore Police Department located and stopped the silver Infinity in Livermore. The occupants of the vehicle were 21 year-old Angela Ross of Livermore, 22 year-old Alexander Ferguson of Tracy, and 22 year-old Alberto Vaca of Livermore. Angela Ross was Mauck’s ex-girlfriend. Witnesses at the crime scene positively identified Ross, Ferguson, and Vaca as the suspects. The fourth suspect, Andres Medina Camacho of Livermore, was still outstanding. The three suspects were placed under arrest and taken to PPD for questioning.
During the investigation, Camacho was identified as the individual who fired at the victims inside the Kensington Apartment Complex. Vaca and Ferguson admitted to threatening the victims with baseball bats and Vaca admitted to shattering the rear window of Thompson’s vehicle with a baseball bat. Ross admitted she orchestrated getting the males together and driving them to the scene in retaliation for an ongoing dispute between her and the victims.
In the early morning hours of January 14, 2015, Pleasanton PD Detectives assisted by The East County Tactical Team executed an arrest and search warrant at Camacho’s home in Livermore. Camacho was taken into custody and evidence was recovered. No one was injured during the execution of the warrants. All four suspects were booked into Santa Rita Jail on attempted murder and criminal conspiracy charges.
