Gang-related Easter Sunday afternoon on Walnut Street, which left a bullet in one parked car, now has police searching for suspects.
At 1:45 p.m., one of four men on foot on Walnut Street fired multiple rounds from a handgun at a passing vehicle, said Lt. Ava Garavatti of the Livermore Police Department.
The suspects were described as Hispanic adult males in their 20s, wearing black, silver and dark blue clothing, colors favored by the Surenos street gang, Garavatti said.
The targeted vehicle was described as a metallic blue or purple Dodge Durango, with no details available on the car's occupants, she said.
When police arrived on the scene, the shooting suspects and the Durango were gone, she said.
No injuries were reported. "One stray bullet struck a parked vehicle," she added.
