SANTA ANA (CNS) - Santa Ana police today continued their investigating into the shooting death of a high school baseball player and the wounding of another young man while they were sitting in a parked vehicle.
Sgt. Maria Lopez of the Santa Ana Police Department told City News Service that police had "no new updates at the moment."
The shooting occurred just after 7:20 p.m. Thursday in the west alley of 1400 S. Minnie St., said Lopez, adding that police were investigating the attack as possibly gang-related.
The victim was on the school's baseball team and had just finished a game, the OC Register reported.
The suspect walked up to a vehicle and opened fire, killing 18-year-old Roberto Izelo of Tustin, Lopez said. A 19-year-old male -- who police said was Izelo's cousin -- who was also in the front seat sustained a gunshot wound and was hospitalized, but was expected to survive, and a 16-year-old boy in the backseat escaped injury.
Police released surveillance video in the hopes it would generate leads, showing a possible suspect wearing black clothing walking through a nearby parking lot.
The Santa Ana Unified School District released a statement reporting that crisis counselors had been sent to Century High to support any students and staff at the school dealing with the shooting.
