A 21-year-old Gilroy male was fatally shot by an unknown suspect Sunday night in a second floor residence at Sobrato Transitional Apartments on Monterey Road, near Pinocchio’s Pizza.
Police responded to Saint Louise Regional Hospital at 8:31 p.m. Sunday after the victim was transported in a private vehicle. Medics were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to Police Sgt. Chad Gallacinao.
The victim suffered from one gunshot wound by an unknown caliber firearm. The suspect’s identity and whereabouts are currently unknown, according to police.
On Monday morning, a large portion of the parking lot at Sobrato Apartments was taped off as Crime Scene Investigators carried evidence from the apartment.
Most residents did not come to their doors Monday morning, and those who did said they knew nothing about the incident.
Management at Sobrato Transitional Apartments said residents were not in danger, but asked them to refrain from outdoor activies at the apartment complex until further notice.
Further details of the investigation are not currently being released, Gallacinao said.
