A young man who was involved in a gang-related shooting in January in Red Bluff has been sentenced. Tehama County Sheriff’s Deputies called to a home on Dream Way found 47-year-old Jason Perry suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in his abdomen, and he was hospitalized. During a search of the area deputies found two people walking, 19-year-old Simon Riley Russell and an unidentified 16-year-old. Witnesses identified them as suspects in the shooting. Russell and the boy were connected to a gang, and had gone to the house because of a gang-related dispute they had with a juvenile who was there. There was a confrontation, and Russell pulled out a gun and fired several rounds at Perry before the pair fled. Deputies found a gun near where they were taken into custody. After reaching a plea deal for assault with a firearm, Russell has been sentenced to 3 years in state prison
