Modesto, CA - Investigators with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office have arrested 28-year-old Turlock resident Michael Arrizon on attempted murder charges related to a shooting which took place on Sunday, May 23, 2021.  

Last Sunday, at approximately 8:40 p.m., patrol deputies were dispatched to a report of a person shot.  A crime scene was located  near W Hatch Rd and Cascade Ave in Modesto.  The victim had suffered a grazing gunshot wound to the right-side of his head requiring transport to a local area hospital for his injuries. 

Through the course of follow-up investigation, detectives were soon able to identify the suspect’s vehicle and his true identity.  A review of video surveillance from a local nearby business was instrumental to furthering our case. 

Earlier this morning, on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at about 10:30 a.m., deputies located the suspect driving a vehicle near Herndon Ave and Evans Rd in Ceres.  A high-risk stop was conducted, and the driver was safely taken into custody without incident.  The weapon believed used in the crime was recovered as well. 

Michael Arrizon was interviewed and later booked into the Public Safety Center on attempted murder charges.  The case will now be with the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office, where allegations and facts will be evaluated for potential prosecution.  

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
