Police Searching For Suspect Who Shot Teen Girl Trying To Change Flat Tire

STOCKTON (CBS13) – Stockton Police are asking for help in finding the suspects who shot a teenage girl several times as she and friends stopped to change a flat tire.

The shooting happened back on July 14 at 11 p.m. in the parking lot of a Big Lots in the 8000 block of West Lane.

Police say the 17-year-old girl, Jhonetta Nagle, and six other juveniles were in the parking lot attempting to fix the flat tire when a 1990s Ford Mustang entered the parking lot, drove around recklessly and then left.

A few minutes later, the Mustang returned with another car, a Honda Civic. The driver of the Honda Civic fired four to five shots, according to police. Nagle was hit several times, including a shot to her face.
