A gang fight in a shopping center parking lot Monday sent an 18-year-old male to the hospital with multiple stab wounds. A 15-year-old male sustained minor injuries in the assault, which took place at about 10 p.m. in front of the Vineyard Market, near the intersection of Verano Avenue and Hwy 12.
Sheriff’s deputies responding to the reported fight discovered that an assault had taken place, but all parties had fled. About 10 minutes later, deputies were alerted that a subject had arrived at Sonoma Valley Hospital with multiple stab wounds.
Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Investigations and Crime Scene Investigations Units determined that the stabbing victim had in fact been assaulted by rival gang members, according to Sgt. Carlos Basurto.
No arrests have been made. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to contact Detective Adrian Mancilla at 565.2185.
