In a tragic incident at a Walgreens in Madera, California, a man harbored animosity towards large pharmacies and killed employee Erick Velasquez. The shooting appears random with no known connection between suspect and victim. As the suspect opened fire, he was recorded on surveillance. Fortunately, no other customers or employees were injured. The suspect was apprehended by police reloading his firearm, having driven over 80 miles to commit the attack. Velasquez was known in the community, leaving behind his family, as Walgreens expressed sorrow over the event.
Detectives say he was reloading his gun when officers arrived.
Chiaramonte said it appears that the suspect drove from more than 80 miles from Pixley to the store.
