STOCKTON – Police arrested two men after a pursuit in connection to a Tuesday afternoon shooting that claimed the life of a teen.

TURLOCK – Police arrested a man on murder charges in a fatal stabbing that took place Friday night.
Ahmad Abweny, a 28-year-old Modesto man, was identified and arrested with the assistance of the Modesto Police Department.
The incident occurred Friday night at about 10:30pm, when officers were called to a report of a person stabbed near the intersection of Monte Vista Avenue and Golden State Boulevard. Enrique Gomez, a 49-year-old Turlock resident, was found on the ground stabbed. Emergency personnel provided aid, but Gomez died at the scene.
