MODESTO- Investigators with the Modesto Police Department are working to determine who shot and killed a man on McHenry Avenue late Thursday night.
The incident began Thursday when a call was made to the dispatch center at about 10:30pm reporting gunfire on the 900 block of McHenry Avenue. According to Lieutenant Kalani Souza with the Modesto Police Department, the caller was uncooperative. Officers responded to the area and could find no indication of a shooting.
Then at around midnight, another call was made. The person called back and said someone had been shot. Responding officers found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound in the parking lot of a car dealership. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers were able to locate the person who called 911 and took a statement from them.
The investigation was turned over to detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit. Much of the business was taped off and surrounded by patrol cars and investigators well into the morning.
Souza indicated it was unclear if the victim was associated to the business. The owner of the business responded to the scene and cooperated with investigators, he said.
No suspect information, or further details were available Friday morning.
Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Modesto Police Department or Crime Stoppers at (209) 521-4636 where callers can remain anonymous.
