The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that left a woman injured and a suspect arrested following an hour-long standoff early Saturday morning.
Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Jimenez said the woman suffered a gunshot wound to her shoulder in the 12:30 a.m. shooting, which occurred at a residence on County Road 18A in the rural town of Yolo. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Alberto Perez, reportedly fled in a vehicle toward Esparto.
“While deputies were responding to locate the suspect, they received additional reports the suspect was shooting at an occupied apartment on the 16000 block of County Road 87 in Esparto,” which is the Esperanza Crossing Apartments on the north side of town, Jimenez said.
Deputies found Perez at the apartment complex holding a firearm by his side, but were able to negotiate his surrender after about an hour, and no additional injuries were reported, according to Jimenez.
Perez was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and terrorists threats, said Jimenez, adding that the shooting victim was in stable condition after receiving treatment on scene and at an area hospital.
