LOCKWOOD — Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Lockwood man in connection with a shooting in October 2020.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, staff at Mee Memorial Hospital in King City reported a victim of a gunshot wound on the evening of Oct. 4. Investigators identified the victim as 37-year-old Joshua Hamilton of Lockwood.
Hamilton told investigators that he was shot in the 64000 block of Davis Canyon Road. In the following months, investigators interviewed multiple witnesses and served multiple search warrants, all of which “provided additional evidence in this case,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
The months-long investigation resulted in the identity of the shooting suspect as 22-year-old Kyle S. York of Lockwood.
On March 10, the Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division and the SWAT Team served a search warrant at York’s home in the 50000 block of Paulsen Road in Lockwood. Investigators said York was taken into custody without incident.
York was booked into the Monterey County Jail on a warrant for attempted murder. His bail has been set at $500,000.
Anyone with more information about this investigation is asked to contact Detective Arras Wilson at 831-759-7203 or Detective Sgt. Bryan Hoskins at 831-755-3773.
