A 28-year-old Merced man faces a potential lifetime prison sentence for shooting two women in 2016, the Merced County District Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
The Ferguson Fire has reached 4,000 acres with just 2 percent containment and caused one fatality as it forced more than 50 people from their homes near El Portal, according to Cal Fire and the National Forest Service.
A man described as being in his early 20s was shot multiple times in the upper body around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 15, 2018, near Plainsburg Road and Childs Avenue in Planada, according to the Merced County Sheriff's Office.
