(August 18, 2008)—Four men and a juvenile were arrested after someone in a pickup truck opened fire on a car in the parking lot of the Central Texas Marketplace just off Interstate 35 in Waco, sending one to the hospital

Vicente Garcia, 23 of Bellmead, Daniel Hernandez Delacruz, 21 of Waco, Valente Jimenez Delacruz, 17 of Waco and Jose Cruz Garcia, 18 of Bellmead were arrested Sunday.

Officers also arrested a 15-year-old, police said.

The arrests came after police received several 911 calls around 7:40 p.m. Sunday reporting that the occupants of a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck were firing at the occupants of a Pontiac Grand-Am in the parking lot of the shopping center, near the Kohl’s and Zale’s stores.

Witnesses told officers three shots were fired, police said Monday.

Angel Oballe, an occupant of the car, was shot in the left side of his face and lower back, police said.

He was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center with what police said were non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers arrested the five without incident after stopping the truck at Loop 340 and West Waco Drive, police said.

Nathali, other area stations have reported that 3 of the 4 fine gentlemen here (sarcasm meant)are in fact being held on immigration charges. That means they are "illegal". Get a clue.
