Two men have been arrested and a third man is sought in connection with Thursday's gang-related drive-by shooting of two men.

The shooting took place at approximately 9 p.m. in the Hackett Road and Central Avenue area. The two males who were shot suffered from what has been called non-life-threatening wounds and were transported to the hospital.

The shooting was witnessed by an officer who was patrolling the area. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle and after a short pursuit the driver pulled over. Arrested and charged with attempted murder were Estevan Lomeli, 29, and Alejandro Gomez, 20, both of Ceres. The identity of a third suspect being sought has not been released by police.

Sgt. Jose Berber said the shooting is believed to be gang related.

Detective Ross Bays is asking for any witnesses to call him at 538-5729.
