Santa Cruz police on Friday arrested an adult and a 16-year-old they believe are responsible for shooting two people outside a restaurant earlier this month.
According to a press release issued by the Santa Cruz Police Department on Monday morning, shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 15, a suspect vehicle drove up to the front of a restaurant near the intersection of Almar Ave. and Rankin St.. A suspect exited the vehicle, fired multiple shots and then fled the area in the vehicle. A Santa Cruz Police Officer, who was nearby on an unrelated call for service, heard the shots, and immediately ran to the scene.
Santa Cruz police were called in to begin an investigation and determined that a verbal altercation between two rival gangs occurred outside the business. When the shooting suspect returned to the scene and shot multiple rounds at the opposing gang, two uninvolved and innocent bystanders were struck by the gunfire. Investigators were able to identify the two suspects involved, one of whom was a juvenile from Monterey County. Last Friday evening at around 6:30 p.m.
