Nineteen-year-old Gilroy resident Ivan Lustre was arrested Sunday night after firing a single shot at an inhabited dwelling on the 7500 block of Alexander Street.Â
The arresting officer was already on the 7600 block of Alexander Street conducting an unrelated investigation at 8:52 p.m. when he heard a single gunshot in the vicinity, said GPD Sgt. Pedro Espinoza.
The officer observed Lustre running from the area and gave chase. Lustre was apprehended a short time later during a coordinated search, Espinoza said.
A firearm was also located as a result of the search.
