CARLSBAD — Carlsbad police investigators sought the public’s help today in identifying and locating suspects who fled a shooting earlier this month.
On Dec. 13 at about 9:16 p.m., Carlsbad police officers responded to a report of gunfire at a vehicle collision on Alga Road between El Fuerte Street and Xana Way.
Officers located a vehicle with one person who had suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, police said.
Another victim, who had also been in the vehicle, was hit by gunfire and left the scene before officers arrived, according to police. That victim also suffered a non-life-threatening injury and was later located at a nearby hospital with another occupant of the vehicle, police said.
