Man accused of attempted homicide after shooting in Modesto parking lot
MODESTO – A 27-year-old man has been arrested for attempted homicide in connection with a shooting following a chase in Modesto earlier this month, police said on Friday.
The Modesto Police Department responded to The Gospel Mission's parking lot on Yosemite Avenue around 8 a.m. on April 14 for a report of a shooting.
At the scene, a witness reported that a man driving a sedan was chasing a victim who was driving a separate car, police said.

Investigators located evidence of the shooting and were able to identify 27-year-old Jason Nolan Jr. as a suspect in the shooting.
Then, on Thursday, Nolan Jr. was arrested and booked into jail for attempted homicide, police said.
The case remains under investigation.
