A man was hospitalized and in critical condition on Saturday morning, Jan.13 following a shooting Friday night that police say could be gang related.
Police responded to reports of shots being fired near the 1200 block of South Pacific Avenue at 10:20 p.m. and found a male victim who had been shot in his upper body, said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department.
The identity of the man, a 21-year-old Santa Ana resident, was not being released. The shooting took place in an area known for gangs, so the victim’s background is being investigated for any possible gang ties, Bertagna said.
Police are now looking for witnesses of the shooting; there are no suspects yet, Bertagna said.
