Three people were arrested after a man was shot outside a restaurant in Ukiah, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, officers responded to the 1100 block of South State Street near Talmage Road around 12:45 a.m. June 7 when a shooting and possible traffic collision was reported.
When officers arrived, they reported finding a man “in the parking lot of Taqueria Jalos that appeared to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was conscious, but was bleeding profusely from the head and shoulder, and was in shock. UPD officers began rendering medical aid while waiting for emergency medical personnel to arrive.”
The victim was soon airlifted out of county for further treatment “without being able to provide law enforcement with any indication of what had occurred, (but) was later determined to be an employee of the restaurant (who) resided nearby.” He was identified by the UPD only as a 42-year-old Hispanic man.
With assistance from California Highway Patrol officers, UPD officers blocked off the area and began searching the block, reportedly quickly finding “six .45 caliber shell casings in the parking lot of Taqueria Jalos, (as well as) the victim’s vehicle, crashed and abandoned across the street, (described as) riddled with bullet holes and (having) blood on the interior of the vehicle.”
A witness reportedly described “seeing a confrontation involving the victim’s vehicle and two other vehicles (one a silver Jeep and one a silver sedan), and reported hearing gun shots during the commotion.”
While reviewing footage from security cameras in the area, the UPD reports that officers obtained license plate numbers from the suspects’ vehicles, which were later found in the 1300 block of North Bush Street.
On surveillance footage recorded of the restaurant’s parking lot, the officers reported seeing “a confrontation between the victim’s vehicle and two others: a silver-colored Jeep, and a silver-colored sedan, (which) appeared to be attempting to trap the victim’s vehicle in the parking lot, and at one point the sedan rammed the victim’s vehicle. A Hispanic male, later identified as Raul Mandujano, a 38-year-old Ukiah resident, was captured on video exiting the sedan, approaching the victim’s vehicle with a firearm in his right hand, and then shooting at the victim’s vehicle multiple times from close range.
The video showed Mandujano getting back into the silver-colored sedan, which was being driven by an unknown subject, and fleeing the scene. The Jeep, which was later confirmed to be driven by Mandujano’s wife, Anna Escamilla, and contained family member Ma Marin-Mandujano, then also fled the scene.”
The UPD reports that “due to the severity of the crime and the fact that primary suspect Raul Mandujano was considered armed and dangerous, the Mendocino County SWAT team was requested to execute the arrest of the three suspects, (which occurred when) the Mendo-Lake Regional SWAT team executed the arrest warrants at the residence on North Bush Street where the suspect vehicles had been located. All three subjects were taken into custody without incident.”
After reportedly finding “the .45 caliber handgun Mandujano used in the shooting (and) the clothing Mandujano was seen wearing in the security video,” at the residence, the UPD reports that Mandujano was booked into the Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and personal use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.”
Enscamilla, 34, of Ukiah, and Marin-Mandujano, 49, of Ukiah, were both booked into county jail on suspicion of aiding in the commission of a crime. When asked about the fourth person believed to have been driving the sedan, the UPD said that the incident was an “ongoing investigation and no further information is being released.”
