On June 5, Omar Guadalupe Torres was contacted by members of the Calexico Police Department and was arrested on a warrant and was then transferred Friday to the custody of the Santa Barbara County Jail where he was booked on charges of attempted murder and felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held on $2 million bail, Santa Maria Police Sgt. Daniel Rios said.
On April 17, at about 10 a.m., Rios said officers from the Santa Maria Police Department were sent to the area of McClelland and Mill streets after receiving calls from residents reporting gunshots in the area. An investigation revealed a confrontation between two adults occurred, followed by an adult male suspect firing multiple gunshots at another subject, Rios said.
Detectives ultimately obtained an arrest warrant for Torres that was uploaded into local, state and national law enforcement databases and he was eventually arrested by Calexico police. Calexico is situated on the US-Mexico border, about 120 miles east of San Diego. Anyone with information related to the case can contact Det. Silver at 928-3781 ext. 1346, or the SMPD communications center at 928-3781 ext. 2277.
