Tulare County Sheriff's deputies were called to the Tipton Overpass at Avenue 152 and Highway 99 for a man down. They found a man who had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The victim has been identified as 32-year-old Jose Gonzalez of Tipton.
Not long after that, homicide detectives arrested a 17-year-old boy, 18-year-old Bryan Gomez of Tipton and 18-year-old Daniel Macias of Tulare for Gonzalez’ murder. Detectives were also able to identify the suspects as those involved in a separate drive-by shooting in Pixley about one hour prior to the murder.
Gomez and Macias were booked at the Tulare County South County Facility and the juvenile was booked at the Juvenile Detention Facility on charges of Homicide, Gang Conspiracy, Unlawful Theft of a Vehicle and Shooting at an Inhabited Dwelling.
