STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) — Two men were killed and a woman was wounded in a shooting at the Stockton Flea Market on Sunday.
Stockton police said officers responded around noon to a report of a shooting in the 2500 block of South El Dorado Street.
The two men were found dead and the woman in her 50s had a non-life-threatening injury, police said.
The Stockton Flea Market is located at 2542 South El Dorado Street. Police said they would not confirm the exact address of the shooting due to police victim confidentiality or say a possible motive.
But a boutique owner at the flea market told KCRA 3’s Denzen Cortez that the shooting stemmed from a robbery.
“I saw one running, and he had the gun on him and [was] pointing, so I threw myself on the floor,” Salvador Cervantes, the jewelry store owner who was robbed, told KCRA 3.
Cervantes said this has not been the first time his store has been targeted. Back in 2012, his father, Ignacio Cervantes, was killed in a similar robbery.
The Stockton Flea Market features more than 300 vendors and is the oldest and largest family-owned flea market in San Joaquin County, according to Visit Stockton. It’s open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
