Good morning, Stockton.
Today’s briefing centers on a key development in the investigation into November’s mass shooting. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has released photos of two vehicles they believe are connected to the attack. Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying the sedans. Editor and reporter Scott Linesburgh, along with Cassie Dickman, breaks down what authorities have shared and what remains unanswered.
It’s been another heavy few days locally. Police are investigating a deadly shooting at a Stockton flea market that left two people dead and another wounded. In a separate case, officers arrested a man accused of kidnapping a Stockton woman, an incident that unfolded across county lines. And over the weekend, community members and leaders gathered to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., with a message that pushed beyond ceremony and urged Stockton to live out his legacy in meaningful ways.
Thank you for reading and for staying engaged. Your attention and trust help sustain local journalism when it matters most.
