Gabriel Rodriguez, 57, was shot to death in a mobile home park east of the city Saturday night, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department reported.

The report did not include a city of residence for Rodriguez, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to Sgt. Anthony Bejaran, deputies were called to the Martins Mobile Home Park at 26648 River Road at 8:51 p.m. on a report of shots being fired. The park is along the San Joaquin River near George Hatfield State Park.

“When they arrived, they found a 57-year-old man who had been shot,” Bejaran said. “Emergency services personnel responded and attempted to save the man’s life, but he died on scene.”

Authorities have not made any arrests nor identified any suspects in the case. They are looking for a 1990s single-cab Dodge truck that may have been involved.
