Woodland shooting leaves 19-year-old dead; search still on for suspect
WOODLAND – Police in Woodland are searching for a suspect who took off after a 19-year-old was shot and killed Sunday afternoon.
The Woodland Police Department said the shooting happened in a residential neighborhood on Baird Court near Powers Circle sometime around 4 p.m.
The victim, a 19-year-old man, was taken to the hospital after he was possibly shot in the head, police said. On Monday, police revealed that the victim had died from his injuries.
Neighbors say the area is a quiet neighborhood, while police noted they also don't get a lot of calls for service from there.
"You can't really predict some of these things. I just know that our investigators will work hard to identify the suspect and make sure they are brought to justice," said Sgt. Richard Towle with Woodland police.
The suspect took off from the scene and was last seen near the Bel Air Market. Police have not identified him, but say he is around 20 years old and is armed and dangerous.
It's unclear if the victim and suspect knew each other at this point.
