On Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023, at 11:29 am, RPD dispatch received a ShotSpotter activation in the 2200 block of Potrero Avenue. Officers responded and located evidence of a shooting. Officers were able to develop a description of a vehicle that was believed to have been used in the shooting, and they found a car matching the description parked just three blocks away in the 1900 block of Potrero Avenue.
Officers contacted the occupants and saw a firearm in plain view. A subsequent search of the suspect’s vehicle resulted in another loaded firearm being located.
Thanks to technology and the quick response of our officers, we were able to get two more firearms off our city’s streets, and two criminals will most likely be ringing in the New Year from jail!
