Suspected gang member shoots man, dog on Santa Cruz's Westside - San Jose Mercury News: "suspected gang member shot a 24-year-old Santa Cruz man and his dog on Woodrow Avenue on Saturday night, according to Santa Cruz police.
The victim was riding his bicycle on Woodrow near Plateau Avenue, exercising his pit bull terrier-mix, at 7:15 p.m. when several men in a gold truck asked him his gang affiliation, Lt. Rick Martinez said.
When the 24-year-old denied any gang affiliation, one of the men stepped out of the truck and shot at least four times with a small-caliber semi-automatic handgun, hitting the victim in the right thigh and the dog in a paw, Martinez said. A bullet also grazed the victim's torso.
The shooter got back in the truck, and the driver fled west on Plateau.
A passerby saw the victim on the sidewalk and gave him a ride to his parents' house nearby, police said."
