Chico >> A man died from a gunshot wound after a fight and shooting early Saturday morning at Oak and Seventh streets.

Two people were also stabbed, two other people were shot and a person was hit in the face with a bottle, Chico police reported.

The 22-year-old man who died has not been identified by police.

A house party was taking place just after 1 a.m. when a fight broke out and people spilled out into the street. The crowd also spread to a paved lot across the street, according to neighbors and a press release from the Chico Police Department.

Luke Sparidaens and Michael Tovar live in Timber Creek Apartments, about half a block from the party. At about 1:10 a.m. they were considering walking over and checking it out, the men said about midday Saturday.

There was a big crowd, and a fight broke out, the men told the Enterprise-Record. Then they heard gunshots, Sparidaens said.

People from the crowd ran in the direction of Tovar and Sparidaen’s apartment. At one point there was a man on their front lawn, standing, and completely covered with blood. Police were there the next minute and took him away, Sparidaens said.

Saturday before noon, officers were at an apartment complex at Seventh and Oak, talking to people who saw some of what had happened about 10 hours earlier.

A van was parked across the street, and three distinct bullet holes could be seen along the side of the van.

Sparidaens said the van had been parked there when the chaos began.

The press release states that one man died of a gunshot wound after being transported to the hospital.

“Preliminary investigation has determined that the victim was attending a house party,” the release states.

Police are asking anyone who has video or images of the incident or the party before the incident to contact the Chico Police Department detective bureau, 897-4900.
