In a recent update from the Stockton Police Department, an arrest has been made regarding a homicide case from early 2023. On the morning of February 5, 2023, officers were called to the 1300 block of W Fremont St, where they found multiple gunshot victims. According to the police department's social media post, a 42-year-old male victim later died at the hospital, while three others received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
