San Diego, CA–Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail and San Diego Police Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics executed a search warrant on two residences Tuesday in connection with a shooting last week in East County, authorities said.
Sheriff’s detectives executed the warrant for a residence located in the 12900 block of Mapleview Street in Lakeside. San Diego Police SWAT executed the warrant for a residence located in the 3500 block of 40th Street in San Diego, Sergeant Noah Zarnow of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Detectives seized two 9mm unserialized “ghost” guns, a .40 caliber handgun, multiple high-capacity magazines, about 1,100 rounds of ammunition, and additional evidence from the shooting.
Authorities arrested Stephanie Fuentes, 32, Miguel Fuentes Sr., 36, Eddie Padilla, 21, and a juvenile male for multiple felony charges.
On August 18, Sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Apple Street in Spring Valley.
The preliminary investigation revealed members of a criminal street gang were involved in an argument with residents over spray paint tagging. The argument escalated resulting in the suspects firing multiple rounds at the residents who were not struck by gunfire. An uninvolved motorist driving through the intersection was struck by at least one round. They were treated and released at a local hospital.
The investigation is ongoing.
