HOLLISTER—Investigators with the Hollister Police Department are looking for two suspects in a Monday evening shooting that left the family members of 31-year-old Hollister resident Daniel “Danny Boy” Cadenas grieving for his loss.
On Monday evening, July 14 at about 10:15 pm., Hollister Police Officers responded to the 900 block of Prospect Avenue on a report of a shooting.
