The Dixon Police Department is continuing its investigation into a shooting that occurred in the 400 block of West F Street shortly after 3:00 PM on Wednesday, July 31.

The shooting evolved from a verbal dispute, which began when a group of individuals purportedly associated with a local street gang approached another group of individuals believed to be associated with a rival gang. During the dispute, at least one subject produced a firearm and fired several rounds toward the opposing group. The shots struck a member of the other group who was on foot and involved in the verbal dispute, as well as another person in a vehicle also associated with the opposing group. Both the occupant in the car and the subject on foot sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The injured parties transported themselves to local hospitals for treatment and have since been released. Members of both parties fled the area, both on foot and in vehicles.

There is no ongoing threat to public safety. The Dixon Police Department assures the community that this incident is isolated to the two groups involved.

Investigators have several leads in the case and are reviewing video of the incident.

The investigation is ongoing, and we urge any witnesses or anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Dixon Police Department at 707-678-7070 or investigations@dixonpoliceca.gov.

Further updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
