Police seek suspect in shooting of Colton man at party

Redlands Police are looking for a suspect after a Colton man was shot and injured at a party in the 900 block of Lawton Street early Sunday morning.

Officers pulled over a 2004 Mazda on the transition road from Tennessee Street onto the westbound Interstate 10 at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 24, and discovered the passenger, a 20-year-old Colton man, suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim was transported to a local hospital where he is now in stable condition.

At about the same time, police were responding to calls of a disturbance at a party in the 900 block of Lawton Street and of an apparently injured man being driven away in a vehicle nearby. Investigators determined that both calls were related to the shooting victim.

Investigators determined that an altercation had occurred at the party and the victim was shot.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his mid-20s, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 190 pounds, with a shaved head and a mustache.

Anyone who attended the party or has information on the shooting is asked to call Officer Mike Merriman or Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
