Selma police investigate early morning homicide

Selma police continue to hunt for the shooter responsible for the slaying of a 22-year-old man early Thursday in a newer neighborhood on the east side of the city.

Police reported that officers went to an address on Chaparal Lane, just north of Rose Avenue, about 3 a.m. to investigate loud bangs and found Ricardo Leon dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Other occupants of the home provided “limited” information about what occurred, a police spokesman said.

A search warrant was obtained for the home and the neighborhood is being canvassed for more information or possible video evidence.
