Santa Maria police officers are searching for a man who allegedly shot a woman on Friday morning.

Severiano Leon Flores

Shortly before 9 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 500 block of East El Camino. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening injury.

Officers suspected the suspect was hiding in a nearby residence. For several hours, officers attempted to get the suspect to exit the residence.

Officers then entered the residence, but the suspect was not inside.

Investigators identified Severiano Leon Flores, 36, as the suspected shooter. Flores is currently wanted on outstanding warrants and is considered potentially armed.

Officers ask anyone who sees Flores or knows of his whereabouts to contact the Santa Maria Police Department.

Why should it be any different in Stabba Maria on this day that ends in, “Y”? /rhetorical ?


Get your animals under control down there.


Use overwhelming police force to protect the innocent TAXPAYERS that wants nothing less than that from their paid for law enforcement.


You politicians controlling the police, do remember that they exist to, “Serve and Protect,” not react and mop up, only to disappear again, right?


I know it’s NOT the men/women in blue that are keeping their hands tied behind their own backs in dealing with the ILLEGAL INVADERS, gangs, drugs, thievery and just lawlessness in general.


Its YOU weak local, county, state pols that create and maintain this nonsense.


WE THE PEOPLE are not going to take it sitting down anymore.
