Officers found that the driver of the Nissan was 26-year-old Raymond Alfonso Anthony Rigazio.

 

Rigazio was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. At the scene, officers discovered a black 9mm Glock pistol with a 30-round magazine in it. Officers determined the weapon belonged to Rigazio. The discovery of the weapon led officers to arrest Rigazio for Possession of a Firearm by a Felon as well as Driving under the influence, Transporting an Open Container, and No Vehicle Liability Insurance.

 

During the investigation of a shooting that took place on Monday in the early morning hours, it was reported that a black vehicle that matched the description of Rigazio's rented vehicle was seen leaving the scene after the shooting.
