One of the men - 51-year-old Jesus Castro - was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Police say Castro’s son sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Castro reportedly was sitting in his truck talking to his two sons when a vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire on Castro and his sons with what appeared to be an assault rifle and a handgun.

Investigators say the shooting wasn’t random and the suspects were targeting the victims.
