Kings County detectives arrest suspects in shooting incident without incident

Driving in front of the Silverado was a Toyota Corolla driven by suspect Adam Hernandez and a passenger Robert Collins. Another male passenger sat in the backseat.

While driving on Manzanita Street the vehicles collided for an unknown reason, causing no damage.  The suspect, Robert Collins, exited the Toyota and fired approximately three shots from a semiautomatic handgun at the occupants in the Silverado.
