Shooting at Lodi nightclub leaves 1 dead, 1 hurt

Both victims were in their twenties, police said.

LODI, Calif. — A night out turned violent leaving Lodi Police looking for the person responsible for a shooting at a nightclub that killed one man and left another injured.

Lodi Police say just after 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, two men in their twenties were found shot at the El Dorado Night Club. One man died and the other is still in the hospital recovering. 

For the past eight months, Rosa Zamora has been working hard to serve Lodi authentic Mexican food.

"It's been very chill, there's not a lot of stuff that goes on here. It's very calm," said Zamora.

Zamora says she feels safe in this neighborhood, but what happened early Sunday morning just steps from her restaurant, has her in disbelief. 

Her daughter, Melani Ceja, spoke to ABC10 as well as her mother's translator.

"She's very shocked that she was surprised that that happened because stuff like that usually doesn't happen around here," said Ceja for her mother.

As Zamora's husband was working to open the restaurant around 8 a.m., she says someone from the club asked her husband for a favor.

"Asked him if they could borrow a hose so they can wash the inside because there was blood spilled all over," said Ceja.

As police continue to look for the person responsible for this shooting, Zamora can't help but feel for the families impacted.

"She feels sorry for the families of the person that was lost and for the person that was injured as well," said Ceja.

It's still unclear what led up to this shooting or a motive. ABC10 tried reaching out to the owners and promoters of the club for comment, but did not hear back.

Lodi Police are urging anyone with information to call Detective Lockie at 209-269-4798 or to contact Lodi Area Crime Stoppers at 209-369-2746 to remain anonymous.
