| Narrative: |
Two teens were injured as a result of a shooting in the community of Saticoy.
On May 12, 2018, at approximately 0222 hours, Ventura County Sheriff’s patrol deputies and detectives responded to a shooting that occurred in the 11000 block of Violeta Street. Deputies discovered the victims were seated inside a parked vehicle when a light colored sedan stopped a short distance away. An unidentified suspect then fired a single round at the victims’ vehicle. The round struck the victims’ vehicle and bullet fragments hit both occupants.
The victims fled the scene in their vehicle, traveling eastbound on Highway 118. The suspect vehicle followed them and a suspect fired several additional rounds at the victims. Shortly after evading the suspects, the victims’ vehicle crashed and came to rest along Forest Park Blvd. in the Riverpark area of Oxnard.
Both victims sustained non-life threatening injuries. V-1 was treated at a local hospital and released. V-2 was transferred to a hospital in Los Angeles, but has since been released.
