Stockton Birthday Party Shooting Leaves 4 Dead and 11 Wounded as Manhunt Intensifies

Investigators are pursuing leads on a targeted attack that may have involved multiple shooters.

Overview

  • Four people were killed — children aged 8, 9 and 14 and a 21-year-old — and 11 others were injured during a child’s birthday at the Monkey Space banquet hall on the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue around 6 p.m.
  • No arrests have been made and the suspects remain at large as a multi-agency team processes evidence, reviews security video and interviews witnesses.
  • Authorities say early findings indicate the shooting was selective, and local leaders have referenced a possible gang link that has not been confirmed by investigators.
  • A $25,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the suspects, with appeals for tips and home or business camera footage from the area.
  • State emergency officials are coordinating with local authorities, and investigators say there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the wider community.
