The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a drive-by shooting that injured a vehicle passenger north of Winters on Friday.
Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Jimenez said the shooting occurred at about 1:30 p.m. on County Road 89, where the unidentified victim suffered a single gunshot wound fired by someone in a passing vehicle.
The driver who accompanied the injured passenger transported the victim to Sutter Davis Hospital, where staff alerted the Davis Police Department that a male had arrived with a gunshot wound to the head, according to the online crime log. Jimenez said the victim was later transferred to an area trauma center for further treatment.
Meanwhile, sheriff’s detectives remain on the lookout for the suspect and vehicle, described only as a small, dark-colored sedan last seen heading northbound on County Road 89.
“It is early in the investigation and there are no further details at this time,” Jimenez said in a news release. Anyone with information is asked to contact sheriff’s dispatchers at 530-666-8282 or leave an anonymous tip at 530-668-5248.
