245 Shooting, 2200 block of Sunset Avenue

At about 1915 hrs officers of the Bakersfield Police Department were dispatched
to the 2200 block of Sunset Avenue for a report of a victim of a shooting. Upon
arrival, officers found a Hispanic Male Adult suffering from two bullet wounds
to his torso. The victim stated he had been working at his computer when he
heard a knock at the door. When he answered the door a BM or HM 5-8, 160,
was at the door asking if a certain male subject lived at the residence. The
victim told the suspect he had the wrong house and the suspect then produced a
handgun and began firing at him. The victim was transported to KMC where
his injuries were later determined to be non life-threatening.

No witnesses to the shooting and no suspects located. Anyone with information


is encouraged to contact the Bakersfield Police Department at 327-7111.
