Investigation continues into drive-by shooting

Investigation continues into drive-by shooting
Shortly before 5 p.m. officers with the Eureka Police Department responded to a report of a fight in progress at the intersection of Carson and Albee streets, according to a press release. As officers were responding to the scene they received a report of shots fired at a residence less than a block away from the fight.

Several witnesses told officers that a vehicle had driven in front of the residence and a male pointed a handgun out of the window and fired several shots, according to the release. Officers were unable to locate anyone involved in the incident and proceeded to search the area for the vehicle involved in the incident.

A short time later, officers stopped a car that matched the description of the vehicle on the 3300 block of Broadway, according to the release, and detained three people. Richard Avery Dorey Jr., 19, was arrested and transported to the Humboldt County jail, where he was charged with violating his probation.

Dorey was on probation for drug sales and weapons violations, according to the release. The other two people in the car at the time were later released, and officers were unable to locate any damaged property or victims from the shooting.

EPD was still investigating the incident on Saturday and was unable to provide more details by the Times-Standard's printing deadline. Anyone with information
