Arrest Made In Napa Parking Lot Shooting

NAPA, CA — A Napa man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder earlier this month after another man showed up at a hospital suffering injuries from a shooting, police said.

The Napa Police Department responded to a local hospital on March 20 after a family member brought the victim in for treatment. Patrol officers contacted the man, who was suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Once the crime scene was located in a parking lot in the 2900 block of Jefferson Street, detectives with the Napa PD's Special Enforcement Unit began an investigation.

Evidence led detectives to identify Eduardo Ledesma, 20, of Napa, as the suspect in the shooting.

The following day, March 21, members of the department's Special Enforcement Unit and Critical Response Team, along with the Napa County Sheriff’s Office Critical Response Team, served several search warrants within the city of Napa and located Ledesma as a result.

Ledesma was arrested and booked into Napa County jail on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon likely to cause great bodily injury and negligent discharge of a firearm. He remained behind bars Monday without bail, jail records showed.

Police did not say how or if Ledesma and the victim knew each other, nor was a possible motive disclosed.

Police asked anyone with information related to the investigation to contact Detective Marcus Martinez at mmartinez@cityofnapa.org.
