A man is dead after a shooting that apparently involved two vehicles in Sanger Wednesday night, the Sanger Police Department said.

The dead man – identified Thursday as Marco Antonio Rodriguez, 23, of Sanger – was found at the intersection of Sanger and North avenues just before 9:15 p.m.

Sgt. Jason Boust said officers were called to the area of Hoag Avenue and 14th Street, less than a mile away from where the dead man was found, on a report of shots fired at a home. As officers arrived at the Hoag incident, they received reports of a shooting victim at Sanger and North.

No other details about the case were released, and Boust said a motive had not been determined. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Sanger police at 559-875-8522.
