Officers arrived and located an occupied vehicle and an occupied residence that had been struck by gunfire. No one was injured.

Investigators from the Oxnard Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) took over the investigation. Investigators gathered sufficient evidence to identify the suspect as 32-year-old Martin Diosdado. VCU Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Diosdado for assault with a deadly weapon, shooting at an occupied vehicle, and shooting at an occupied residence.

Diosdado was treated for moderate injuries at the scene and later transported to a local hospital. He will be booked into Ventura County Jail on charges related to the April shooting, as well as multiple firearms charges.
