Police are seeking the public's aid in the shooting logged earlier this month after a traffic collision in Carlsbad.

CARLSBAD, CA — Carlsbad police investigators sought the public's help Tuesday in identifying and locating suspects who fled a shooting earlier this month.

On Dec. 13 at about 9:16 p.m., Carlsbad police officers responded to a report of gunfire at a vehicle collision on Alga Road between El Fuerte Street and Xana Way.
Officers located a vehicle with one person who had suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound, police said.

Another victim, who had also been in the vehicle, was hit by gunfire and left the scene before officers arrived, according to police. That victim also suffered a non-life threatening injury and was later located at a nearby hospital with another occupant of the vehicle, police said.
Evidence suggests the victims' vehicle was fired on from another vehicle in a possible gang-related shooting, police said.
