Noon Time Murder On Waterloo Road
06/13/2011
Around 1200 hours yesterday a Stockton Police Detective driving on Waterloo Road came upon a male down near Belvadere Street; The Detective went to check the person down, and discovered the person had been shot, and immediately radioed for help. The horrific shooting witnessed by many people in the area. Immediate witness reports to the Officer advised that a lite skinned Hispanic male, wearing shorts, white t shirt, and a shirt wrapped around his head, walked up to the victim and shot him in the head. The suspect then ran down Francis Street, where according to witnesses was picked up by a Ford Taurus, or Buick that was silver in color.
The Victim was not taken to the hospital, and was pronounced dead. Stockton Police sent many Officers to assist the Sheriffs department during the first few minutes of the incident because there was information that the suspect, still armed, was in the area of Belvadere Ave or Francis St; A large perimeter was set up by the Stockton police department, and the responding Sheriffs Deputies were in charge of the search. A brief search was conducted, but eventually called off after several witness's confirmed that the shooter had made it outside of the large perimeter. Most likely the suspect was picked up by the vehicle described in the previous paragraph; additionally there were reports by witnesses that the suspect was dropped of by the same car.
One officer radioed to dispatch "note in the call that it is windy out here, and there are dollar bills blowing down the road", this seemed to suggest that this murder was a possible robbery. This was not however the official view of any agency on the scene. CHP assisted and took over much of Stockton Police Departments assistance to the Sheriffs, at one point, 11 Stockton Police Officers were on scene assisting the S/O. Devastated family members of the victim arrived almost immediately after the shooting, and were distraught.
