TRACY, Calif. — A 23-year-old man was arrested in Tracy Friday for a shooting that caused a nearby high school to go on lockdown, Thursday afternoon.
According to Tracy police, Arturo Muniz Razo was taken into custody and booked into San Joaquin County Jail for attempted murder and resisting arrest.
Tracy High School was placed on a temporary lockdown just after 1 p.m. Thursday after police received multiple reports of shots fired nearby.
According to Tracy Police Department, multiple 911 calls were received about shots fired in the area of 6th Street and Central Avenue.
The suspect had taken off, but additional calls came in saying the suspect was firing their weapon and heading north then eastbound on 12th Street from Central Avenue, causing officials to lock down the nearby school "out of an abundance of caution," according to a news release.
10 minutes after initial reports, officers were able to find and arrest the suspect after a brief struggle without further incident, according to officials.
Detectives say they believe Razo and the victim knew each other. It is not clear what happened between the two, but police say no one was injured in the incident.
