On Friday, June 14, 2024, a few minutes after midnight, Grant County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to the area of the Prescott Apartments in Santa Clara to a possible shooting. Residents in the area told deputies they heard about eight or nine gunshots and a vehicle taking off.
According to a GCSO offense report, upon arrival a deputy observed a male standing in the yard at 504 Jaguar Street, Santa Clara, who originally declined to provide any information to the deputy saying, "I am not no snitch." However, later he stated he had been in a fight with another individual and had "beaten that other male subject up." The reporting male said the male he had been fighting with returned with other people and began shooting toward his house and that he heard someone say, "they got shot, but she isn't here anymore."
