A Stanislaus man turned himself in after a shooting in Turlock, police say
Eric Martinez, 25, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, child endangerment, felon in possession of a weapon, felon in possession of ammunition and evading a police officer. His bail amount was set at $1.3 million.
On May 6 around 9:30 p.m., TPD officers went to the 500 block of Angelus Street for reports of a 'suspicious person attempting to force entry into a residence while yelling profanities,' according to a TPD Facebook post. While the officers were on their way, dispatch had gotten updated information. The person had allegedly fired several shots and wounded a woman.
When officers arrived to the home, they found a woman with a single gunshot wound in her abdomen. Her injuries were determined to be non-life threatening but she was taken to a local hospital for treatment, according to the post.
Officers tried to stop a vehicle fleeing the area with a suspect inside who they believed was involved in the shooting, but lost sight of it during a pursuit. Witnesses identified the fleeing suspect as Martinez.
Detectives and a TPD SWAT Team executed a search warrant at Martinez's residence in Delhi and collected evidence related to the case, according to the post.
TPD's Facebook post stated that Martinez and the shooting victim knew each other. A TPD spokesperson told the Sacramento-based television station KCRA-3 that Martinez knew the home he was allegedly trying to enter and that a small child was in the home, which lead to the child endangerment charge.
Two days later, Martinez turned himself in at the Turlock Public Safety Facility. He was booked into the Stanislaus County Jail.
The investigation is ongoing and TPD asks anyone with additional information to contact Detective Urban at 209-668-6571.

Video shows chaos amid Baltimore's Federal Hill shooting
Video obtained by WJZ shows people running away as seven gunshots were fired early Sunday in Baltimore's Federal Hill, which left a woman injured. Police said a 39-year-old woman was shot multiple times shortly after midnight in the 1000 block of S. Charles Street. She was stable at the hospital. A person of interest is in custody, according to police. Tips can be reported to Southern District Shooting detectives at 410-396-2499 or anonymously through the Metro Crime Stoppers tipline: 866-7LockUp. Security video from a Federal Hill business shows people dispersing as gunfire is heard in the background. A nearby restaurant employee described the chaotic scene. "I was packing up stuff, and I heard some gunshot[s] and then when I looked up, people just ran," said the employee, who wanted to stay anonymous. The employee told WJZ he's seen violence like this before. "When something like that happened, it made me a little bit nervous and a little bit worried because I do work here late, and I leave it late too," the employee said. "Sometimes it's like shocking and a little scary. I've been here for about five years already, so I'm used to it. When I see a lot of people, it is just another working day." The employee said the business doesn't want repeated violence in the area, but it doesn't want crime to deter customers from visiting. "We enjoy having people come in here, but stuff like this may scare people away," the employee said. "Everybody, calm down and stay safe." As WJZ has reported, recent crime in the area has been the epicenter of concern for both residents and businesses in the neighborhood. Just down the street, a man was beaten with a broomstick and left with a severe injury to his eye in the fall of 2024. In September of 2024, a 24-year-old man was shot and killed near Mugshots Bar & Grill on E. Cross Street. Earlier this month, Baltimore police said more than 60 vehicles and several businesses were damaged by vandals. The break-ins happened in the unit block and 200 block of East Montgomery Street, the 600 block of South Charles Street, and the 600 block of Washington Boulevard near Camden Yards. Surveillance video from the Federal Hill Cleaners on Charles Street showed the front glass door being shattered on July 13.
