CLEARLAKE – Clearlake Police released new details on Wednesday regarding the investigation into a shooting that took place earlier in the week, including the status of the victim and an additional arrest.

Timothy McCarty, 38, of Clearlake was the victim of the Monday night shooting, according to a report from Clearlake Police Lt. Mike Hermann.

McCarty is being treated at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and is in stable but serious condition, according to Hermann.

He was shot multiple times with a 9 millimeter handgun, and was wounded once in the chest and once in the back, Hermann said. Police haven't yet been able to interview McCarty at the hospital about the incident.

Police arrested 32-year-old Noah Michael Parker for allegedly shooting McCarty, Hermann said.

The shooting, said Hermann, occurred at 9:50 p.m. Monday in front of the 40^th Avenue residence Parker shares with girlfriend, Selena Sargent, 33.

Hermann said police don't have a motive for the shooting, other than the two men had argued before the shooting occurred.

Clearlake Police Officer Mike Hansen found McCarty shortly after the shooting when he spotted another person trying to transport McCarty from the scene, according to Hermann's report.

Parker and Sargent allegedly fled the scene following the shooting, Hermann reported. He was found at 4 a.m. Tuesday inside a friend's home on 28th Avenue, where he was taken into custody.

Hermann said police served a search warrant at Parker's residence, where they found numerous shell casings, marijuana plants and approximately 1.5 pounds of processed marijuana, multiple scales, weights, packaging materials, pay-owe sheets, drug paraphernalia and other items indicative of illegal drug sales.

When police arrested Parker they allegedly found he and Sargent in possession of $5,000 in small bills, according to Hermann.

The gun Parker allegedly used to shoot McCarty – a 9 millimeter Smith and Wesson – was found, Hermann said, at another location, but police would not disclose the exact location.

Parker, who Hermann said is a convicted felony, is facing charges of attempted murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and cultivation and sales of marijuana. Pending review by the District Attorney's Office, Parker may face additional charges.

A Lake County Jail booking official reported that Parker is being held on $50,000 bail.

Sargent also was arrested for cultivation and sales of marijuana after the service of the search warrant, said Hermann.

The case is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Tom Clements at 994-8251.
