Shots rang out again in Woodland on Sunday night, injuring a woman and child at a Walnut Street residence.
Sgt. Dallas Hyde said the shooting was reported at 9:52 p.m. in the 100 block of Walnut Street, where arriving officers “located an adult female and juvenile male victim who had apparent gunshot wounds.”
Both victims were transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, according to Hyde, who did not have updated information about their conditions Monday morning. The boy’s age also was unavailable.
Police later received a second report of shots fired in the 200 block of Schuerle Street — roughly a mile west of the first shooting incident — but it was unclear whether the two were related.
No suspects have been identified in the Walnut Street shooting, the motive for which also remains under investigation, Hyde said. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Woodland Police Department 530-666-2411, or the agency’s investigations 24-hour crime tip line at 530-661-7851.
Sunday’s shooting continues a streak of gun-related violence that has plagued Woodland since last fall, resulting in three deaths and multiple injuries. Police have said they suspect the shootings to be gang-related.
Those killed by the gunfire have included:
* Alvaro Gamera, 16, of Esparto, fatally shot on Oct. 21 at North and East streets. Two other victims also were injured.
* Raymond Ortiz, 44, of Woodland, shot to death Nov. 17 in the 100 block of Elm Street.
* Isaaco Carlos Morales, 20, of Woodland, fatally shot on Jan. 9 in the 100 block of College Street.
The Woodland Police Department announced last month the launching of a gang task force dedicated to curbing the suspected gang crimes, as well as a reward fund for information leading to suspect arrests that so far have eluded the agency.
In a video posted to the agency’s Facebook page, Woodland police Sgt. Francisco DeLeon said the task force was “created to investigate and combat gang crime in the city of Woodland,” with local and state agencies invited to partner in that effort.
“The Woodland Police Department and the community as a whole will not tolerate gang crime in the city of Woodland,” DeLeon said. The reward fund pays up to $100,000 for information leading to suspect arrests and convictions.
