Man shot in drive-by while walking along McCray Street

A 19-year-old was shot Sunday on McCray Street, but is expected to recover, according to a Hollister police lieutenant.
The shooting occurred at 4:45 p.m. in the 600 block of McCray Street, Lt. Dan Winn told San Benito Live on Monday.
According to Winn, the 19-year-old male was walking along McCray Street with an adult woman when someone in a passing vehicle heading northbound shot toward them three to five times.
The victim was struck once in the torso area and was flown out by helicopter to the hospital.
“He’s expected to be fine,” Winn said, noting how the victim was still receiving treatment Monday afternoon.
Police described the suspect vehicle as a gray, gold or tan sedan, possibly a Honda or Toyota. There is no known motive at this time, Winn said.
“We have no information who they are,” he said of the suspect.
