UPDATE - A man was shot to death Thursday night in south Modesto, Stanislaus County sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Davis said today. The shooting occurred at about 8:50 p.m. in the back yard of a residence on the 300 block of Olivero Road, off of Crows Landing Road.

Davis said the victim was Roberto Sanchez, 24, of Modesto. He was found on the ground near a series of volleyball courts, and had received multiple gunshot wounds.

Emergency responders could not revive him, Davis said. Family members were at the scene when deputies arrived, he said.
