MODESTO, Calif. (CBS13) – Authorities are searching for the suspects in a drive-by shooting that left one man dead and two others injured.

The Modesto Police Department said the victims were apparently standing in the front yard of a resident on the 300 block of Vine Street when shots were fired from a dark 4-door vehicle at about 6:30 p.m.

One of the victims was rushed to the hospital, where he died from gunshot wounds. The other two victims suffered non-life threatening injuries, authorities said.

The suspects are described as three or four male adults. The vehicle, possibly a Honda, fled the scene immediately after the shooting.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact Detective Michael Hicks at (209) 342-6132 or Crime Stoppers at (209) 521-4636.

    What a stupid question! Who cares!!! Three people were shot. But if you have to know….they were orange with purple polka dots. Happy now?

    • joe

      Well..I’m going with the odds that they were Mexiroaches. Kinda the norm in Mexico.

        They weee your mother’s customers. She loves tanned clients. The white ones carry such short derringers in their tidy whities.

    They better have used ten round magazines and had bullet buttons installed while doing this drive-by, it’s the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ‘A motive for the shooting has not been released.’

    Clearly a gang-related incident. Modesto is just one of many areas in California that has been tainted by these types of Vermin.

    • joe

    Sad that anyone got shot and killed. Modesto used to be so nice and yes peaceful. The neighborhoods were not so divided and everyone was just so much nicer. No one should be arguing here in the comments area…people who say moronic things are just looking for attention, the mean spirited comments come from those that are miserable in their own lives…someones life was taken and it is sad…the poor pregnant girl and her baby, sad…now this…it becomes clear to me why I moved and why I don’t like to even visit anymore…but I remember how it was, cruisin, hanging out on McHenry and everyone just got along…those were the days, now just a memory.

    • joe

      Yep nice and peaceful until the Messicans took over. But it’s like that where ever they go. Just look at Mexico.

      • Joe

        My mom works the donkey show in Mexico. That’s why I hate Messicans. They took my sister even though she was supposed to be my wife. I even traded only tooth and snow plow for a tin wedding ring.

    what a stupid idiot joe is…

  • kristie

    What is sad is the path these people take to end up this way. Clearly its not a racial issue that should be the topic here. White, black, brown, purple….all these people made the choice to be in that particular situation (minus the small children). Getting people to make better decisions in life and following through is what needs to be worked on…..along with respect for others and Modesto’s shrinking police force.

    i hope i don’t sound like a racist, but they are asking for help to find the suspects.
    should we call in every dark colored vehicle with adult males inside?

  • MICHELLE BANUELOS
