The Gilroy Police Department is actively seeking the public's help to crack the case of a recent drive-by shooting that led to property damage in a Gilroy neighborhood. According to a social media post from the department, the incident happened on Westwood Drive and Welburn Avenue last Thursday night. While thankfully no individuals were harmed, bullets did find their way into the facade of a home on the 1100 block of Welburn Avenue.

Investigators have not pinpointed any victims or suspects in connection to the gunfire incident, which transpired between 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm. The quiet of a typical Thursday night was disrupted by the sound of shots that left residents unnerved and authorities scrambling for leads. Gilroy police detectives are urging anyone with surveillance footage or insights into the shooting to step forward.

The department's social media post details the call for public assistance and provides a direct line of communication for potential informants. Detective Jason Greathead, who handles the investigation, is open to receiving information via his official email at [email protected].
