CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Police Department is working to identify the suspects who allegedly fired shots out of a vehicle while fleeing from a Clearlake neighborhood on Tuesday night.

At 9:54 p.m. Tuesday officers were dispatched to the 5600 block of Jones Avenue for a report of shots fired, according to Sgt. Martin Snyder.

When they arrived, the officers contacted the reporting party, who stated three black male adults were at his residence, Snyder said.

One of the subjects knocked on the front door and asked the man for driving directions. The three males then left in a vehicle, according to Snyder.

Approximately 45 minutes later the subjects returned to the residence, with one of the subjects knocking on the door of the home, he said.

The homeowner then armed himself with a can of pepper spray, and as he exited the residence one of the male suspects fled on foot and the other two got into a parked vehicle, Snyder reported.

As the subjects fled, the passenger fired two rounds from a small caliber handgun out of the vehicle, Snyder said.

There were no apparent injuries or damage located on the scene at the time of the investigation, he added.

The reporting party described the vehicle as a two-door gray or white vehicle with front end damage on the driver side, Snyder said.

The suspects are believed to be three black male adults. Snyder said one of the males was described as having his hair in dreadlocks and wearing a dark-colored, hooded sweater.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Officer Adams at the Clearlake Police Department, 707-994-8251.
