Following a public appeal for assistance, investigators have arrested a juvenile suspect in connection with a drive-by shooting that occurred in Vista earlier this month.

On August 15, 2026, just before 7:30 p.m., deputies from the Vista Patrol Station responded to reports of a drive-by shooting in the 400 block of Vista Village Drive. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a round fired from a passing vehicle had penetrated the exterior window of the 2N1 Korean BBQ. A patron inside the restaurant was struck by the gunfire and treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.

Initially, Vista Sheriff’s Station deputies and detectives responded to the incident. As the investigation progressed, it was determined the incident involved a potentially gang-affiliated individual. The Vista Street Narcotics & Gang Team (SNGT) assumed the investigation.

Information regarding the suspect’s vehicle was originally very limited. To generate new leads, Vista SNGT Detectives utilized Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR). Investigators noted without the deployment of ALPRs, it was highly unlikely the vehicle would have been identified.

On August 18, 2026, working in collaboration with the Oceanside Police Department, detectives located and arrested the juvenile suspect, a resident of Oceanside. At the time of the arrest, the suspect was in possession of an un-serialized firearm. The juvenile was booked into San Diego County Juvenile Hall.

On August 21, 2026, Vista SNGT Detectives continued to use ALPRs to successfully locate the suspect’s vehicle.

Although an arrest has been made, this remains an active and ongoing investigation and detectives are working closely with the District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Vista Sheriff’s Station at (760) 940-4551.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — On Aug. 20, 2026, at approximately 11:41 a.m., Carlsbad Police and Fire personnel responded to the 5900 block of El Camino Real after an employee reported finding three suspicious items on the ground near the entrance to the building.

Officers arrived and located three cylindrical tubes made to resemble explosive devices. Officers evacuated the surrounding area, secured the scene and closed Orion Road between El Camino Real and Faraday Avenue while the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Bomb/Arson Unit responded to evaluate the items.

The Bomb/Arson Unit safely secured and examined the items and determined they were not explosive devices. The items were determined to be made from PVC pipes and had been constructed and labeled to resemble explosive devices.

During the investigation, officers identified the suspect. Officers located and arrested the suspect in connection with the incident.

The suspect was booked on suspicion of the following charges:

California Penal Code 148.1(d): Placing or possessing a false or facsimile bomb with the intent to cause fear for another person’s safety.
California Penal Code 11418.5: Knowingly threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction with the specific intent to threaten.

The Carlsbad Police Department takes all bomb threats and reports of suspicious devices seriously. Even when suspicious items are ultimately determined not to be explosive, these incidents require a significant public safety response to protect the community and first responders.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Carlsbad Police Department at 442-339-2197.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY: Sheriff Kelly Martinez announced ICE will no longer be allowed to use Sheriff’s facilities for training or fi****ms qualifications.

Martinez says the decision comes after months of community conversations and concerns over ICE operations in other parts of the country.

However, CBP will continue to use the Sheriff’s Otay Range for training and fi****ms qualifications.

Martinez says cutting off CBP access could have a major impact on the border, including longer wait times, increased traffic, economic impacts and more pollution from idling vehicles.

More than 225,000 people enter the U.S. through San Diego ports of entry every day, including more than 90,000 vehicles, 50,000 pedestrians and 5,500 commercial trucks.

“Community trust and strong relationships are the cornerstone of effective local policing,” Martinez said.

She added, “Too many people on both sides of the border would be harmed by a decision to end CBP’s use of the facility.”

Martinez says future training options for CBP are being explored, but for now, the agency will continue using the Otay Range.

SAN DIEGO: La Alguacil Kelly Martínez anunció que ICE ya no podrá utilizar las instalaciones de la Oficina del Alguacil para capacitación ni certificación de armas de fuego.

La decisión llega después de meses de conversaciones y preocupaciones de la comunidad sobre las acciones de agentes de ICE durante enfrentamientos armados en otras partes del país.

Sin embargo, CBP continuará utilizando el campo de tiro de Otay para capacitación y certificaciones.

Martínez explicó que eliminar el acceso de CBP podría provocar mayores tiempos de espera en la frontera, más tráfico, impactos económicos y mayor contaminación.

Más de 225,000 personas ingresan diariamente a Estados Unidos a través de los puertos de entrada de San Diego, incluyendo más de 90,000 vehículos, 50,000 peatones y 5,500 camiones comerciales.

“La confianza de la comunidad y las relaciones sólidas son la piedra angular de una labor policial local eficaz”, dijo Martínez.

También agregó: “Demasiadas personas a ambos lados de la frontera se verían perjudicadas por una decisión de poner fin al uso de estas instalaciones por
