A man who was believed to be involved in a deadly shooting in Gerber six months ago is still being sought by the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office. A half hour after Midnight May 31st Tehama County Sheriff’s Deputies were sent to a home on Ventura Avenue in Gerber. 3 men had arrived earlier in the evening and were smoking Methamphetamine with the homeowner, according to the Sheriff’s Office. For reasons that are still unclear, there was a lengthy exchange of gunfire during which one man was killed. 21-year-old Osbaldo Rodriguez and 28-year-old Jaime Enedina Zamora both fled. Rodriguez had been hit with several bullets, and as he ran out he fired shots back through the doorway, injuring the homeowner. A short time later Rodriguez was at Red Bluff River Park, claiming he had been shot by a stranger at the park. He was sentenced last month to 3 years in prison. Zamora is still at large, and detectives are appealing to the public to help find him. He’s considered dangerous and possibly armed and should not be approached. Photos are on the KQMS Facebook Page.
