Both victims were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A third victim was later contacted at the hospital with a minor injury.
During the course of the investigation, Investigators developed information as to the identity of three suspects. On Monday evening 8/27, investigators arrested:
Anthony Tua 19 years old – Oceanside Resident
Deshune Bryant 18 years old – Fallbrook Resident
