Officials searching for suspect in Los Gatos shooting
Officials are searching for the suspect in a drive-by shooting that took place in the area of Summit Road and Highway 17 in unincorporated Los Gatos.
The reporting party heard two people arguing outside of their vehicles at the “Park N Ride” and shortly after, heard what sounded like a gunshot.
One of the parties was shot and drove himself to a family member’s residence nearby. The family member then drove the victim to a local hospital.
The victim is a 33-year-old male who sustained one gunshot wound on his right ankle. His injuries appear to be non-life threatening at this time.
The suspect was described as a male in his 30s, approximately 5′ 10″, 160lbs with strawberry blonde hair. The suspect was last seen driving a silver-colored Cadillac CTS, traveling southbound on Highway 17 towards Santa Cruz. The suspect is still at large.
Deputies located at least one expended bullet casing at the scene of the shooting. Based on the preliminary investigation, this appears to be an isolated incident and there is no immediate risk to the public.
This is an active and ongoing investigation. Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office at (408) 808-4500.
