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.

One of the rounds fired impacted a rear column of the Toyota, shattering the back window while a second shot struck the hood of the Silverado. None of the rounds fired stuck or injured the occupants of the Silverado. 

Kings County detectives contacted the suspect Collins who came to the sheriff’s office for an interview. He subsequently confessed to the crime and was booked into the Kings County Jail on various charges, including attempted homicide.
