Cinco de Mayo violence

The Cinco de Mayo weekend proved to be a violent one, with reports of a stabbing at a party and a shooting at a trailer park, according to the Chico Police Department.

Just after 2 a.m. on May 5, police discovered a man who had been stabbed several times near West Fourth and Ash streets. Two other victims, one stabbed and one bruised, were already at Enloe Medical Center. All of them had attended a party on the 400 block of Oak Street. After getting into an argument, they were stabbed and beat up. All are expected to survive. Suspects are described as Hispanic men, one with brown, medium-length hair and the other shorter and heavyset.

In an unrelated incident around 12:50 a.m. the next morning, several handgun-caliber bullets were fired into a mobile home on East Lassen Avenue. Nobody was hurt. The shooting is still under investigation. Anybody with information should call the Chico PD at 897-4900.
