Mr. Mendoza was shot while sitting in the driver's seat of his Dodge Charger at the above address.  According to a witness, who was sitting in the passenger seat, an unknown suspect in a neighboring vehicle fired shots at them, striking Mendoza.  The witness, who was not injured, returned fire as the suspect(s) fled, but it has not been determined if anyone in the suspect vehicle was struck.
