Man dies, 3 wounded in Stockton shooting near People's Market

A man died and three people were wounded in a shooting in Stockton Sunday evening, authorities said.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said the shooting happened near People's Market on Country Club Road, near Franklin Avenue, just after 7:30 p.m. 

Deputies said there were four victims, three men and one woman. One man was pronounced dead and the other three victims were taken to or self-transported to the hospital, deputies said.

A typical shift for Ayad Abdulla at the Super Burger Drive-In across the street took a terrying turn when gunshots rang out.

"As I was about to walk in, I just seen two groups of people yelling at each other, arguing, and I just heard gunshots being fired," Abdulla said.

Abdulla said the woman who was shot worked at a taco truck in the area.

"She's just working trying to make a living, and then she just stepped out and then got shot, just for, I guess, working trying to make a living," he said.

Neighbors say violence in the city is getting out of hand, and they're calling for action.

"I feel like we need to do more for our community, for our children, keep them active in sports and just away from all these gangs," Stockton resident Sarah Garcia said.

The conditions of the three victims remain unknown. 

No suspect or motive information was available.
