GOLETA, Calif. - A Goleta man was arrested Tuesday evening in connection to a shooting that took place Easter Sunday in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office and Santa Barbara Police SWAT teams served a high-risk arrest warrant at a home on Covington Way in Goleta.

After law enforcement issued a shelter-in-place order, law enforcement was eventually able to arrest 24-year-old Daniel Djamali-Kahi without incident.

Djamali-Kahi was wanted in connection to a shooting that took place near Punta Gorda Street and Salinas Street in Santa Barbara Sunday afternoon.

At around 1:50 p.m., Santa Barbara police responded to the area and found spent shell casings and evidence of a shooting. Officers later stopped a vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting.

Three people were detained in connection to the shooting on Monday, but were not arrested. Law enforcement continued to investigate leads and eventually identified Djamali-Kahi as a primary suspect.

After Djamli-Kahi was arrested, law enforcement found a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and an AR-15 rifle, as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition, in his home.

Djamali-Kahi was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail where he awaits charges for shooting into an occupied vehicle and assault with a firearm.
