Police investigating fatal shooting at north Modesto apartment complex
Modesto police are investigating a homicide that occurred early Thursday morning at an apartment complex off of McHenry Avenue.
At about 3:45 a.m. authorities received reports of a shooting at the Sherwood Gardens apartment complex at 3308 Sherwood Avenue, southwest of Standiford and McHenry avenues, according to a post on the Modesto Police Department Facebook page.
When officers arrived at the scene, they located an adult male in his 30s suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives remained at the scene later Thursday morning, entering an apartment where a yellow tarp hung in front of the door.
Modesto Police spokeswoman Sharon Bear said the shooting occurred inside the apartment but she didn’t know if the victim lived there and wouldn’t say who called police or if a suspect has been identified.
