Two men were arrested Monday in connection to a shooting that left a juvenile hospitalized last week in the Lake County town of Nice, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives with the Major Crimes Unit served two search warrants on May 12 in the areas of Lucerne and Lakeport. Logan Marschall, 19, of Lakeport, and Ronald Medina, 20, of Lucerne, were taken into custody in relation to the May 9 shooting, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The incident occurred around 6 p.m. near the intersection of Lakeview Way and Buckingham Way in Nice. Deputies responded to reports of shots fired and found a juvenile victim bleeding from the chest, according to scanner traffic. A brown Honda was reportedly associated with the incident. The victim was flown to an out-of-county hospital in stable condition.
Authorities believe the shooting was an isolated incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit tip line at (707) 262-4088.
I’ve heard the kid had his leg amputated as a result of the shooting, one of five shots took off his hat. Now one of those arrested has bailed out of jail. The LC Sheriff needs to let the public know what is going on.
They may both go free under the “He Needed Killing Law” of old lake county.
Nice is a bit of a law enforcement desert. I was out on my porch one night, letting my dog pee before bed. Some punk walking past heard me talking to her and started yelling at me down my driveway, “What the f*$# you say? I’ll come down there and beat your ass N:&&@.” (I’m Gringo as can be but it was dark). Two LCSO cars rolled up the hill right after. I called in to report what just happened and the Sheriff I talked to ridiculed me.
There are constant illegal motorcycles up and down the hill here, no helmets, riding wheelies in front of Sentry, riders threatening folk like me who tell them to slow down, worried about my dog being thrown against the dash because I’ve had to brake hard not to squish one of them with my truck. LCSO doesn’t give a S#:+, tells you it’s a CHP problem, call them, they laugh.
I can take care of myself, and my dog, won’t shed a tear when someone has to wipe one of these fools off the pavement.
My friend’s son was a witness to events around the shooting, LCSO talked with him. Now one of these punks is out of jail. They sent the kid out of town. LCSO isn’t serving or protecting anyone in Nice.
Look at the park. It’s pretty much SF Tenderloin action.
Why the radio silence from the LCSO and the media about this? Did the kid lose his leg? Why was one of those arrested released? Brown Honda or Black Suburban? Why did it happen? I live two blocks from where this happened and can’t get info about what went down from folks that should be providing it.
Wondering what street I should avoid getting down the hill…
The day I got the keys to my house up above Plumas, I introduced myself to a neighbor. I asked how he liked living here. He replied, “It’s great, just don’t drive down Buckingham. The weird Chop Shop compound, Tweaker mobile is bad.”
He was correct. A never ending stream of junk cars and garbage trailers, and a load of cars when the meth gets delivered, is the day to day. Unpermitted construction ignored by the county there. I’ve complained about the blight, to no avail.
Nice is a bit of a law enforcement desert.
It’s the skids rough of lake county
