DETAILS:

On November 20, 2018, at approximately 4:30 pm, Oxnard police officers were dispatched to a traffic collision at the intersection of East Channel Islands Boulevard at Olds Road. While enroute to the scene, witnesses advised that two vehicles, a white two-door sedan and a black sedan, were possibly shooting at each other. Both vehicles fled the area after the shooting and traffic collision.

Officers arrived on scene and contacted an occupant of a vehicle that remained at the scene of the collision. That lone occupant complained of pain due to the traffic collision and was transported to Saint John’s Hospital for treatment.

Nearby, police officers located a white two-door sedan that was abandoned. There was evidence that the vehicle was recently involved in the hit and run traffic collision. An occupant, a 20-year old Hispanic male, from the white sedan fled into a nearby field and was arrested.

Two Oxnard Community College police officers located a black sedan they believed was possibly involved in the incident. Two occupants, both 21-year old Hispanic males, were detained and arrested for various charges unrelated to the traffic collision and the shooting. No shooting victims were located.

Detectives assigned to the Oxnard Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit responded to the scene to assume the investigation. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Michael Velasquez at (805) 385-8287.
