Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Watsonville mother’s “suspicious” death on a Corralitos hiking trail this weekend and the shooting of her partner by police.
WATSONVILLE —
Within 12 seconds of a dispatcher broadcasting the threat at 9:19 p.m., an officer radioed dispatchers to say that shots had been fired in front of the police department and that a Hispanic male adult in his 20s had been shot in the chest, according to a recorded police broadcast. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Ashley Keehn described Arceo’s death as an ongoing investigation and that deputies are treating it as a homicide.
According to Zamora, a single officer shot at least five shots. He said it was not yet clear how many bullets had struck Gonzalez, who was being treated at an out-of-county trauma center, where he remained in stable condition. Gonzalez’s daughter was not injured but Zamora said he was unsure where the child was during the shooting, believing she may have been in a nearby vehicle.
