The suspects had left the scene in a dark-colored Hyundai driven by Diana Pineda-Garcia, 21, but a California Highway Patrol officer stopped the car at McCall and Highway 180 a few hours later.

Investigators say a gun matching shell casings from the scene was recovered from the car.

Fresno police officers later confirmed they were the suspects in the shooting and took over the investigation.
