On 6-7-2010, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Sheriff’s Dispatch received several 9-1-1 calls reporting 2-3 shots fired in the 200 block of Mobil Avenue in Camarillo. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect fire a handgun at an occupied vehicle that left the area. Deputies from the Camarillo Police Department responded and were on scene within a few minutes.
