Deadly shooting near market in south Modesto

The man in his 30s was gunned down near Midway Market in the 1600 block of Midway Avenue, just north of Parklawn Avenue, said sheriff’s Sgt. Anthony Bejaran. Officials on Sunday afternoon had not released the victim’s name because his family had not yet been notified.

Medics tried to revive the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators remained at the scene overnight collecting evidence and questioning witnesses. The investigators did not have any suspect information.
