Yolo County’s shelter-in-place order hasn’t stopped the rash of shootings in Woodland, the latest occurring shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday night with shots fired in the 400 block of Thomas Street, Woodland police Sgt. Dallas Hyde said.
“Officers arrived and located evidence that a shooting had occurred. Suspects were not located and a motive has not been established,” said Hyde, who did not elaborate regarding the evidence obtained at the scene. However, he noted that no injuries resulted from the incident.
Hyde said the case has been forwarded to the Woodland Police Department’s Gang Task Force, which formed in January in response to the series of shootings that began last fall and so far have killed three men and injured several others. No arrests have been made.
The shooting victims have been identified as:
* 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.
