From Kim Minugh:
Davis police arrested three men and a woman this morning after one suspect resorted to gunfire while seeking retribution for a perceived slight to the woman, according to authorities.
Nobody was injured, a Davis Police Department news release states.
About 1 a.m., Janet Delgado, 18, of Oroville began arguing with a man over a perceived slight at an apartment party on Catrill Drive, the release states. Delgado was kicked out of the party, but she returned about 2 a.m., backed by her brother, Jesse Delgado, 19, of Woodland and friends Danny Ruiz and Dimas Mora, both 20 and from Woodland, the release states.
Three of the suspects used baseball bats to try and force their way through the front door of the apartment, the release states. Party goers pushed back, and one was injured by a bat, the release states. One of the male suspects ultimately fired four shots at the apartment, but instead hitting an adjacent apartment and causing no injuries, police said.
The four suspects fled but were stopped by Davis police officers responding to the call, the release states. All four were booked into the Yolo County Jail.
In light of today's shooting - and two others in Davis over the last month and a half - Davis police suggest that people hosting parties with alcohol closely monitor their event, or ask a sober friend to do so.
"It is not uncommon in today's world of cell phones and text messaging to have a party that began as a group of friends turn into a venue in which 300 to 500 strangers show up," police wrote in the news release. "This often results in fights, assaults involving serious injuries, robberies and sexual assaults."
