The following is a press release from the Fort Bragg Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On April 13 at approximately 4:36 pm, officers were dispatched to Safeway for a report of a disturbance involving shots fired. Upon officers’ arrival, it was determined several subjects had already fled the scene.
Through their investigation, officers determined Matreyus Tiscareno-Meyer age 18 out of Fort Bragg approached a male adult, and initiated a verbal altercation. The altercation escalated when Tiscareno-Meyer retrieved a machete from his vehicle and attempted to strike the other male. A physical altercation ensued between the two and a third male, identified as Mario Sanchez age 31 out of Fort Bragg, approached and began discharging several rounds at Matreyus Tiscareno Meyer. Involved parties then fled the area.
The machete involved was recovered on scene, along with other evidence. It was reported that Matreyus Tiscareno-Meyer fled the scene in a gold sedan, later identified as a gold Saturn, which had its passenger rear window broken out during the altercation. Based on information obtained on scene, officers suspect Hailey Hawkins age 20 out of Fort Bragg, to be the owner and driver of the associated gold Saturn. It was also determined at least one male juvenile associated with Matreyus Tiscareno-Meyer and Hailey Hawkins was present when the altercation occurred, and the firearm discharged.
Officers began a search of the area, checking residences associated with the involved parties. As a result, a search and arrest warrant was obtained and subsequently served at a residence in the 500 block of Stewart Street. Sanchez was located at the residence and arrested. He was transported to the Mendocino County Jail for the following charges: 664/187 PC – Attempt Homicide, 245(A)(2) PC – Assault with a firearm and 273A(A) PC – Child Endangerment. Other charges are being investigated and pending.

Sounds like self defense too

Sounds like self defense too me
From what I read, I could be wrong, the shooter C’d his way into an A and B situation. I don’t think you can legally defend someone else with a gun if you aren’t the one at risk. Again I could be wrong. His shooting may have saved a life
Yes you can legally defend someone else using a firearm, especially an assault with deadly weapon.
Gee thanks Biden and Newsome.
The people who work at Safeway are like our friends. They must have been so terrified. I’m so sorry this happened to you. There will be more than 1 case of PTSD coming from this. I hope they put these thugs away and our hard-working friends get the support they’ll need.
I have PTSD from working at Safeway for 2 months… I doubt many employees were witness to this. The customers in the parking lot are another story…
It was self defense. Why would he run?
The guy who started it all is missing. The self defense crew is behind bars from what i understood.
If someone is coming at you with a machete, why stick around?
No shit! Shades of Juan Corona for those of you that are old enough to remember.He was Californias probably most prolific serial killer who butchered twenty five farm workers back in the early 1970”s.
His weapon of choice was the very formidable machete.
Because somebody was shooting funny guy… Did you miss that part or what goofy?
RV went through a years long process to get commercial pot banned and they failed because 1/2 of them were also growing in their yards. Now they act like they got caught flat footed on a permit that’s been in the works for years as well. They should have spent their time getting the supes to work on a zoning overlay for prohibition on gas stations or whatever business they also don’t like. At least an actual environmental hazard exists with this fuel station. RVMAC gets their panties in a wad over the outright lies told by a neighbor of a commercial grower and they got egg on their face after it was pointed out what a lie it was. They need to start focusing on important issues instead of making stuff up about cartel dogs and complaining how they don’t like hoop houses.
You can’t even post on the right news article and people are supposed to take your rambling seriously? This is an article about a shooting at Safeway in Ft. Bragg…
I am stunned at the number of people who are gushing over this gang related shooting at the grocery store. Despite the Matreyus’ instigation and machete attack, the reckless use of the firearm was far greater threat to the general public. This wasn’t a self defense shooting and Mr Sanchez was almost certainly illegally carrying the firearm. Sanchez is a Sureno gang member. He and his family members appear in the booking logs often for assorted gang related violence. The young guy with the machete is Norteno. Gang violence, attempted murder, illegal possession and reckless use of a firearm. Juvenile in the crossfire to boot. Nothing to be happy about in this situation, especially if you ended up with a bullet hole in your car’s radiator or worse. I am not picking sides, only stating facts.
I agree, gang affiliated and carrying a firearm without a permit to carry. Lock this clown up and throw away the key.
Works for me or any other reasonably clear thinking non biased individual without an insane left wing ideology.
Take it a step further if they are here unlawfully deport their asses back to whatever third world shithole country that they came from.
Unfortunately, they’ll just come back and be given vip treatment, flight to wherever, and a nice room in a luxury hotel.
Yeah, it’s the insane left flying people “to wherever”. Definitely not the governor of Texas… And if Mr. Sanchez is an illegal immigrant, and they’re all given “nice rooms in a luxury hotel” then why is he living in Ft. Bragg? Oh, because you’re talking out your ass and don’t know a single thing about real policy. Go back to your Facebook memes, kindergarten cop.
He’d have to be escorted by border patrol then flown to a sanctuary city and stand in line. Now there’s 100s of thousands doing that. I know it’s not guaranteed, but its happening. Sorry you can’t take a joke.
Well Mr know it all!
How about the Haitians let out of prison that Biden flew in and put up in a hotel in New York?
How about all the hotels in California being used to house migrants. Want to go on a tour in ukiah with me? Shit I will take you on a tour from ukiah to San Francisco to show you where they are staying. Better yet since gas is so high and inflation is through the roof just do me a favor and turn on some non bias news and see where they are staying in New York. It’s a lot cheaper to do that. As for the Texas governor I don’t blame him for getting rid of them from his state. They are here illegal and they make a mess out of everything not to mention murder steal rape and so on.
So maybe you need to go back to Facebook or just keep your head in the sand.
You said it perfectly. These “brothers” are a menace in this town, including their family members who are all involved. They have committed so many acts of violence, intimidation & numerous crimes! I definitely agree that they should go away for a long time. Enough is enough. We shouldn’t have to walk out in fear in our own hometown because of these thugs. Look at their history, so much they have done & they always get away with it! Why?? I dont understand. Lock the Sanchez brothers up!!!!!!
I agree, also from Fort Bragg… Never met any of these guys but I know of them. Always causing problems and recruiting minors to vandalize vehicles and terrorize people. Lock those guys up, worthless if you ask me!
Gang violence can happen in any town and anywhere. You don’t expect to get shot going to the grocery store. Sadly, that’s a possibility these days. Be safe out there.
It sure is, sadly enough. I’d rather live in Ukiah though. The gangsters over there just use baseball bats and spears. All joking aside, somebody is bound to get seriously injured or killed with this kind of shenanigans going on.
In ukiah , everyday people use their vehicles as a weapon, or at least as an intimidation tool. Why so many asshole drivers there? I don’t get it. Everytime I go there, someone tries to kill me with their car
Oh he’ll be out in no time. Then looking for a room to rent in your house with you, saying he does remodel or farm work is a favorite because you can’t really check on it.
“The machete involved was recovered on scene, along with other evidence.”. I have the machete recovered at my scene, but…nobody cares……until there’s an arm missing, hospital filling out reports forcing them to ask is this your machete, buster? What were you doing with a machete around a woman? Because here’s the machete……
I’m going to frame it, with a brass plaque, as the machete complaint no one paid attention to.
