A 22-year-old Galt man wanted in connection with a Halloween-night homicide in San Joaquin County was seen hours later at a southern Sacramento County party during which a volley of gunfire erupted, according to authorities.
As of Monday night, San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies continued their search for Anthony Adell Hubbard, who is suspected of fatally shooting 28-year-old Adam Mariano Campa, also from Galt, Saturday night in Acampo, said Deputy Les Garcia, sheriff's spokesman.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that Hubbard might have returned to the Galt area, or elsewhere in Sacramento County, Garcia said. They are asking for the public's help in finding him; however, they warn that he should not be approached if seen.
"We do want the public to keep in mind that he is considered armed and dangerous," Garcia said.
The homicide occurred about 11:30 p.m. in the 5800 block of East Jahant Road, Garcia said. Campa's body was discovered lying in the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Garcia said detectives have not yet determined the motive for the killing.
About 90 minutes later, Sacramento County sheriff's deputies were called to Ganzer Lane - west of Galt and about six miles from the homicide scene - because of a loud party, said Sgt. Tim Curran.
A deputy arrived at the home where the party was being held and waited for backup, Curran said, and as he waited, shots were fired outside of the home.
Other deputies arrived and set up a perimeter, but the person who fired the shots was not found, Curran said. During witness interviews, deputies learned that Hubbard, the San Joaquin County homicide suspect, had been at the party twice that night: once, earlier in the evening and accompanied by the homicide victim, and then again later, alone, when the shots were fired.
It's unclear whether Hubbard fired the shots at the party, Curran said. No witnesses identified him as the shooter, he said. Nobody was injured.
Deputies received a call Monday afternoon that Hubbard was seen at a park in Herald, but after a search of the area, authorities ruled the tip unfounded, Curran said.
Sacramento County Superior Court records show both Hubbard and Campa have criminal histories locally. Most recently, Hubbard pleaded no contest to felony assault with a deadly weapon in 2008, according to court records. Also in that year, he pleaded no contest to felony drug possession and misdemeanor evasion of law enforcement.
Campa's record includes felony drug possession convictions from 2006 and 2007 and a second-degree burglary conviction in 2006, according to the records.
Anyone with information about Hubbard's whereabouts is asked to call his or her local law enforcement agency. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department at (209) 468-4488 or the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department at (916) 874-5115
