STOCKTON (CBS13) — A violent Saturday night left one person dead and five hospitalized from gunshots, a stabbing and a crash in Stockton, police said on Sunday.

According to the Stockton Police Department, two victims—men aged 36 and 59—were walking through a parking lot along North Airport Way when they were approached by two men attempting to rob them. This happened at around 6:45 p.m.

When the two victims resisted, one of them was shot. The two suspects—only described as Hispanic teen males—ran away but were pursued by the uninjured victim, police said. Moments later, one of the suspects stopped to assault the pursuing victim and then robbed them of their belongings.

Stockton police said both victims were located at the scene and taken to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Approximately one hour later, in the area of Wilson Way and Miner Avenue, a 59-year-old man suffered injuries after being carjacked, police said.

At 10:30 p.m., a man was riding his bike in the area of Harding Way and Lincoln Street when a 30- to 40-year-old Hispanic man approached him and confronted him, police said. The two got into a fight which led to the suspect stabbing the victim.
