Manhunt Underway After Stockton Birthday Party Shooting Kills Three Children and One Adult

Investigators say the attack appears targeted and may have involved multiple shooters as they seek tips and offer a $25,000 reward.

Overview

  • The shooting erupted Nov. 29 just before 6 p.m. inside a Lucile Avenue banquet hall with an estimated 100–150 people present, and officials said gunfire continued outside.
  • The four victims were ages 8, 9, 14 and 21, and 11 others were wounded, with at least one in critical condition, according to the sheriff.
  • Sheriff Patrick Withrow said firearms were recovered on the building’s roof and that the FBI, ATF and California Department of Justice are assisting the probe.
  • No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, and authorities are requesting cellphone video, witness accounts and other tips to develop suspect descriptions.
  • City leaders organized vigils and victim support, and they noted that several separate weapons and gang-related arrests reported nearby were not tied to the banquet-hall killings.
