While deputies were investigating the shooting, the suspect – who had apparently fled the shooting – carjacked a pickup driver about a mile away around 1 p.m. The suspect drove on Highway 99 and eventually ended up at a truck stop where he carjacked another vehicle.

Deputies caught up with the suspect on Highway 120, between Escalon and Oakdale, where he was pulled over. He surrendered and was arrested without incident.
