Wednesday, Chico Police arrested shooting suspect Drake Afflerbach, concluding an eleven-day search.
The 37-year-old Afflerbach was initially wanted by police for his role in a shooting on June 18th. He reportedly fired two shots at a moving vehicle before running away. Luckily, no one was hurt. Deputies couldn't find Afflerbach at the scene but spotted him two days later in the area of Hicks Road in Chico. They gave chase, but Afflerbach ended up fleeing them on foot.
On June 29th, however, officers got a tip that Afflerbach was hiding out in a homeless camp along the railroad tracks near Nord Avenue. That night, police used aerial drones to confirm that Afflerbach was indeed in the camp. Once he was located, police set up a perimeter to trap Afflerbach, only for him to duck into a nearby apartment complex after realizing cops had found him.
He was spotted by a police K9 and taken into custody.
