Investigators release images of vehicles allegedly involved in November mass shooting in California
Three children were among the four people killed in the shooting.
Authorities have released new surveillance footage of two vehicles suspected of being involved in an unsolved California mass shooting at a November birthday party that killed four people, including three children.
No suspects have been arrested in the Nov. 29 shooting at a banquet hall near Stockton that also left 13 people wounded, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office.
In the first major development announced in the case in two months, the sheriff's office on Saturday released images from video footage showing two light-colored vehicles the agency said are "suspected of being involved in the incident."
"Detectives have been working diligently to identify and locate the suspects responsible," the sheriff's office said, asking the public for help in identifying and locating the vehicles.
"Anyone with information on the vehicles depicted or the suspects involved are encouraged to come forward," the sheriff's office said.
A $130,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the shooting.
During a news conference in November, San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow said investigators believe that there may have been multiple shooters involved in what he described as a "targeted attack."
Based on the evidence collected at the crime scene, Withrow said that the shooting appeared to have started indoors and continued outside the venue.
Three of the victims killed were children, ages 8, 9 and 14, according to the sheriff's office. A 21-year-old victim was also killed, the sheriff's office said.
Amari Peterson, 14, was one of the children killed in the shooting, his father and authorities said.
In an interview just days after the shooting with ABC affiliate station KXTV in Sacramento, Amari's father, Patrick Peterson, said his young daughter was also grazed by a bullet during the shooting.
The father said he and his family were at the banquet hall for a child's birthday party when the gunfire suddenly broke out. In the unfolding chaos, Peterson said he saw his son on the floor suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.
"He had one bullet wound right above the heart," said Peterson, adding that he jumped over a counter, rushed to his son's side and began giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"It's something that a father should never have to go through," Peterson said.
