He said the incident was reported at 9:45 p.m. in an area around Las Piedras Park, which is located east of 12th Street and north of Santa Paula Street on the east side of town. The shooting occurred at or near the park, he said.
The victim is in his mid-20s and is a resident of Santa Paula, Aguilar said.
It's unknown whether there was one or more assailants, he said.
Child taken to hospital after boating accident in Lake Piru
A young child was taken to the hospital after a boating accident Sunday afternoon in Lake Piru.
The child was riding inside the boat with parents and a sibling when the vessel capsized around 3 p.m., said Mauricio Guardado, general manager of the United Water Conservation District, which owns the lake northeast of Piru.
He said the child, who is around 5 years old, was not believed to be seriously injured, but that the parents wanted the youngster to be checked out at a hospital.
It appears the boat overturned because the person driving the vessel turned too sharply, Guardado said.
He said there was no need to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation to anyone. All the occupants of the boat were wearing life jackets, he said.
An investigation into the accident is still underway, he said.
