CALEXICO — A 31-year-old man who was shot twice in the parking lot of Donut Avenue shortly before midnight Friday, Nov. 13, ended up being air-lifted by helicopter from the Calexico International Airport to a hospital in Riverside County.
Calexico police responded to several reports of a shooting at the Donut Avenue in the 1000 block of Imperial Avenue about 11:41 p.m., but when units arrived, the victim had already left the area, according to a press release from the Calexico Police Department. Several spent shell casings were found in the parking lot.
Several minutes later, police received a call for an ambulance to the 900 block of Nosotros Street, where officers found a Hispanic male who said he had been shot at Donut Avenue, according to the press release.
