The man told police that as he approached the house, he saw the suspect standing in between two cars and several other people standing outside and hiding around cars.

As the man motioned for Loredo to come over to the vehicle, he heard a popping sound and saw Loredo raise a handgun toward the car and fire at least four shots, according to an arrest affidavit.

One woman inside the car said she was shot in the head. The man drove her to a hospital, where police were called. The woman had non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The man knew Loredo for at least two years and had purchased marijuana from him during that time, police said. He was able to identify Loredo to the police.

Loredo was arrested on Tuesday, booking records show.
