Tracy police identify car involved in third homicide of the year

A suspect has not been identified in the death of a 23-year-old man shot and killed Saturday afternoon.

TRACY, Calif. — A man was shot and killed in Tracy Saturday afternoon, in what is the city's third homicide of 2019.

A 23-year-old man was shot multiple times around 3:40 p.m. in the 200 block of W. Carlton Way, according to the Tracy Police Department. The police department said the man died of his injuries. Investigators have not identified a suspect.

Many of the people who live in the area told ABC10 they are concerned about the recent murders. 

"These murders that are happening, it's a big concern for me and my family and my safety," said resident Raul Garcia.

While the rise in crime is unfortunate, it's something that has become all too familiar for people who live in the area.

"I'm not surprised, especially for that area," Andy Levand said. "It's always been kind of the worse area in town. And living here, I've seen some things happen. A lot of gang activity, stuff like that. So for over there, it's not a shock to me at all."

The initial investigation identified a car associated with the crime, according to the department's Facebook page.

On September 21, 2019 at approximately 3:40 p.m., a 23 year old male... was shot multiple times, in the 200 block of W. Carlton Way. Unfortunately, the victim succumbed to his injuries. At this time, the responsible subject has not been identified.
