STOCKTON, Calif. — A recent investigation into a shooting on Interstate 5 in Stockton has led to a startling discovery and arrest related to human trafficking.

On November 24, at 1:30 a.m., the CHP began investigating a report of a possible shooting on southbound Interstate 5, north of French Camp Road. At the scene, officers found an abandoned gray Honda Sedan with bullet holes and damage to both the front and back. The car, left in the first lane of the interstate, contained a wallet and a cell phone linked to the vehicle's registered owner.
The victim of the shooting, located at a nearby park by the Stockton Police Department, recounted that he was driving with a female passenger when they were pursued and shot at by a driver in a black Audi SUV.
