SUMMARY:
On November 16, 2015 at 8:29 p.m., deputies from the Victorville City Station responded to the Victor Valley High School located at 16500 Mojave Drive in Victorville. The victim, a night custodian at the high school, called 911 to report he was just shot in the face with what he thought was a BB gun. The victim reported three male subjects attacked him with BB guns and physically assaulted him. He hid in a nearby locker room on campus to avoid further assault and called 911. Deputies responded to the scene and located the victim who sustained abrasions to the right side of his face. An area check was conducted for the suspects with negative results. The incident was captured on the school's surveillance system. The video depicted three male suspects walking toward the custodian who was carrying a trash bag, and the first two suspects shot the victim at close range, with what was later discovered to be paintball guns. The third suspect punched the victim in the face causing him to fall to the ground and lose consciousness. The suspects immediately fled the area.

School officials reviewed the video and identified two of the suspects as former students of Victor Valley High School. Two suspects were seen on campus earlier that day and were told to leave. Based on that information, Detectives served search warrants at the 14000 block of Manning Street and the 16000 block of Forrest Ave in Victorville. Through investigaton, all three suspects were located and arrested. Detectives also located the suspects' clothing, paintballs and one of the paintball guns used in the assault.
The suspects were booked at the Adelanto Detention Center for Assault With A Deadly Weapon with a $50,000 bail.
