Visalia man jailed in shooting

Visalia police arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon days after someone reported that their car and a nearby home had been shot at.

Javier Huerta was arrested on June 18, four days after the mid-morning shooting at Willis Street and Grove Avenue.

Police said the victim was sitting in his vehicle when the shooter approached and fired a gun at the victim. The victim's vehicle and a nearby home were hit, but the victim was uninjured. Huerta was identified as the suspected shooter, but it took officers four days to track him down.

Police said they found evidence linking Huerta to the shooting during a search of his home.
