Search Warrant <br />Page 9 of 19 <br /> <br />Melgarejo was found with multiple gunshot wounds to both legs and left arm. Detective Bell and his partners <br />rendered medical aid to Melgarejo. Eventually, Melgarejo was able to be transported to Orange County Global <br />Hospital where he continued to receive treatment and was declared in stable condition. While being treated at the <br />hospital, hospital staff located a slug round of ammunition, which did not appear to have a hollow point tip. It <br />should be noted, officers are issued hollow point ammunition, thus it is believed at least one of the rounds, which <br />struck Melgarejo was from this incident. <br /> <br />Officers began to canvass the area, where Melgarejo was found and taken into custody. <br /> <br />During that canvass, SAPD patrol officers located surveillance footage of this attempted murder incident. <br />Detective Bell reviewed the footage, which showed Melgarejo running in a southeast direction on Shelton Street <br />from W. Myrtle Street. As Melgarejo continues to run, a two-tone (black over tan) Chevrolet SUV with distinct <br />collision damage to the front passenger panel drives southbound into the footage frame. The vehicle slowly <br />comes to a stop, while Melgarejo is still running southbound along the east curb line. <br /> <br />Once the Chevrolet SUV comes to a stop, two male suspects are seen exiting the suspect vehicle from the front <br />and rear passenger seats. Suspect #1 who is not seen on the surveillance footage is the driver, operating the <br />vehicle. Suspect #2, who is seen exiting from the front passenger seat is described as a Male, Hispanic wearing a <br />navy short sleeve shirt, dark colored hat, plaid shorts armed with a black handgun. Suspect #3, who is seen <br />exiting from the rear passenger seat (behind front passenger) is described as a Mal e, Hispanic wearing a grey <br />short sleeve shirt, dark colored hat, dark colored shorts armed with a black handgun. Suspect #2 and Suspect #3 <br />both extend their arms and appear to fire their handguns at Melgarejo, who is now out of the frame. Both suspects <br />then re-enter the vehicle and flee southbound in the suspect vehicle. <br /> <br /> (Suspect #2 and Suspect #3 exiting the suspect vehicle, each armed with a handgun) <br /> (Distinct damage to the front passenger panel) <br />
