Tulare County officials seek suspects who shot at teenagers from car in Ivanhoe

The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office is searching for suspects in a Saturday drive-by shooting that injured four teenagers.

The shooting was captured by a home surveillance camera. A vehicle appears to slow down outside an apartment around 8:30 p.m. in Ivanhoe, where up to four teens were sitting, according to the sheriff’s office.

Suddenly, two loud gunshots are fired seconds from each other from a vehicle before it drives off. Screaming is heard in the video.

A sheriff’s spokeswoman said Sunday that four teens were hit as they sat outside the apartment in the 15700 block of Paradise Avenue. All were taken to the hospital and later released.

The vehicle involved in the shooting was described by the victims as a dark-colored SUV. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Ag Crimes Unit at 800-808-0488, email tcso@tipnow.com, or by text or voicemail at 559-725-4194.
