A 24-year-old man was shot and killed in south Stockton’s second homicide this month.
Around 10 a.m. Saturday, officers rushed to West Sixth and South Harrison streets. Police responded to the area after a 911 caller reported a possible shooting, according to the Stockton Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found the man suffering from a gunshot wound. Paramedics declared the man dead. His name hasn’t been released, pending notification of family or next of kin by the San Joaquin County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators were called to collect evidence and photos of the scene, in front of Church of the Living God. Officer David Scott could not provide further details on the church’s possible connection to the homicide, but stated that when police have taped off an area, it usually indicates there is evidentiary value.
At about 12:45 p.m., law enforcement officials could be seen circled around a white Hyundai Elantra with its doors open. A single evidence marker was placed in the middle of the street, about five yards from the car.
