An 18-year-old man from Los Banos has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal shooting in Turlock on Sunday, according to authorities.
Police identified the suspect as Corey Pollard Jr. Investigators said the shooting occurred Sunday and resulted in the death of another person, prompting a homicide investigation by local law enforcement.
Officers responded to the reported shooting and began working to determine what happened and who was responsible. Investigators gathered evidence and information from the scene before identifying Pollard as a suspect.
Pollard was subsequently taken into custody and booked on a murder charge. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including what may have led to the confrontation.
Police have not publicly established a motive, and additional details about the victim and the events immediately preceding the shooting may be released as the investigation progresses.
The arrest represents an early development in the case, but the investigation remains active. Detectives are expected to continue interviewing witnesses and reviewing available evidence as they work to establish a complete timeline of the incident.
