THREE MEN WERE ARRESTED LAST WEEK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRIVE BY SHOOTING THAT LEFT 21-YEAR-OLD FERNANDO MARTIN MENDOZA-AVILA DEAD ON WEDNESDAY. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR, 21-YEAR-OLD ALFREDO ALANIS GARCIA WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON THURSDAY. 21-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER HERRERA AND 20-YEAR-OLD RAFAEL BARRON WERE ARRESTED FRIDAY, AND ALL THREE MEN WERE CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER. SHERRIFFS INITIALLY SUSPECTED THAT THE FREEDOM BOULEVARD SHOOTING WAS GANG RELATED, BUT INVESTIGATIONS HAVE REVEALED THAT THE VICTIM WAS CHOSEN AT RANDOM.
