Victim of Los Banos shooting ID'd as Gustine man

Published: March 7, 2013 

— An 18-year-old man who was shot to death this week in Los Banos has been identified as Shane Thomas Moore of Gustine, according to the Merced County coroner's office.

No suspects have been arrested.

Los Banos police received a report of shots fired in the 800 block of La Mesa Lane at 9:09 p.m. Monday. Police found four men in the garage with gunshot wounds. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other three victims, all 20 years old, were shot in the legs, police said. One was struck in the arm.

Police said the three men were airlifted to Modesto-area hospitals and are listed in stable condition.

Witnesses reported seeing a man in dark-colored clothing running from the area after the shooting, police said. Not all who have been interviewed have been forthcoming, police said.

"Some of the witnesses have been uncooperative as we investigate this case. This was a senseless tragedy that has affected our community. We are asking anyone with information about this crime to do the right thing and come forward," Cmdr. Ray Reyna Jr. said.

Reyna said the incident is gang-related.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Detective Eduardo Solis at (209) 827-7070, ext. 137.
