Around 9:30 AM Sunday, Elk Grove Police Department (EGPD) officers responded to a shooting in the 3300 block of Renwick Avenue.
The shooting took place near the Castellino Apartments at Laguna West. Even though the incident took place near Renwick Avenue, the victim drove himself to a nearby 76 gas station for help. Consequently, the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The victim and the suspect knew each other. Therefore, the crime was not random, according to EGPD investigators.
The victim’s identity was not released and no arrests have been made.
EGPD is set to post a press release on Monday.
