Davis Police Arrest 19-Year-Old in Picnic Day Shooting Injuring Three

Davis police have arrested 19-year-old Joseph Davis from Sacramento in connection with a shooting at Community Park during UC Davis' annual Picnic Day event, which left three people injured. The shooting occurred around 3 p.m. on April 12 and involved multiple shooters, with authorities still seeking at least one more suspect. Police recovered a loaded illegal assault rifle from Davis' home during a search warrant execution, and he faces several firearms-related charges, including assault with a deadly weapon. The event at Community Park, though coinciding with Picnic Day, was a fraternity-hosted party and not officially affiliated with UC Davis. Despite the injuries, all victims suffered non-life-threatening wounds, and no motive has been publicly confirmed, though officials stated the shooting was not random. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information or media related to the incident to come forward.
