Two men shot while working on a vehicle in their driveway, near several schools

Another day another ridiculous shooting in Santa Ana.  This time two men with no gang connections were badly wounded as they were shot while they worked on a car in their driveway at the 1300 block of South Rita Way, in Santa Ana, at around 9:15 p.m. on Thursday evening, according to the O.C. Register.

One victim,  identified him as 21-year-old Juan Seneseros, was shot in the back.  The other victim, a 26-year-old man was shot in the upper and lower torso and was in serious condition.

The shooting occurred in the 1300 block of South Rita Way around 9:15 p.m. Gonzales said.

The SAPD said that the shooting did not appear to be gang-related, and said police were looking for a light-colored vehicle.

This shooting happened about 2 miles from the SAPD headquarters, a few blocks away from Carl Harvey Elementary School, Martin Elementary School and Mater Dei High School, in Santa Ana’s Ward 4, which is represented by Councilman David Benavides.
