Detectives believe the attack was gang related. One adult and three teens were arrested.

There have been some arrests in connection with an attack that left three people with gunshot wounds in Oxnard last month.

On March 4, a 19-year-old man and two 15-year-old boys were shot in Southwinds Park. None of the wounds was life-threatening.

On Thursday, Oxnard Police, aided by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team, served warrants at multiple locations. A 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were arrested in one neighborhood. A second teen was arrested at the Oxnard Police Department, while a third was already in custody at the Juvenile Justice Center for an unrelated offense.

Detectives say all four suspects are members of a street gang, and the attack was believed to be gang-related.
