Man shot Sunday near Healdsburg park; police release few details

A man was shot Sunday night in Healdsburg near Railroad Park, and police on Monday released few details as investigators seek to determine why he was shot and if the violence was targeted.

Around 6:10 p.m., the Healdsburg Police Department received calls of a shooting on Front Street near the railroad tracks, according to a news release.

Homes and businesses line the stretch of Front Street, which is parallel to the Russian River, with Hudson Street to the north and Healdsburg Avenue to the south, in southern Healdsburg.

Upon arrival, officers learned that a man had been transported to an area hospital after suffering a “serious” gunshot wound, said Lt. Luis Rodriguez.

The man was still recovering as of Monday afternoon but his medical condition wasn’t released.

Rodriguez said there were no other reports of injured victims but other specifics were still being investigated. This includes whether the victim was targeted, if any witnesses were present, the number of shots fired and the number of times the man was hit.

Investigators are also withholding the man’s age and city of residence.

Further information would not be released Monday due to the nature of the ongoing investigation, Rodriguez said.

The Healdsburg Police Department urged anyone with any information to call them at 707-431-3377 or email crimetips@healdsburg.gov.

Sunday’s shooting occurred a little more than a month after fatal gunfire occurred in the northern part of the city on Fourth of July.

Luis Enrique Gonzalez, 27, of Windsor was pronounced dead after officers found him unresponsive on the sidewalk in the 200 block of Monte Vista Avenue.

The scene was about a block from where the city’s fireworks show took place.

Gonzalez’s death was the first homicide in three years and the third in a decade for the city of Healdsburg.

Police said last month he appeared to have been the victim of a targeted attack. No arrests have been announced.
