A man died Tuesday morning after a home invasion involving multiple intruders with guns, the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office said in a release.
The break-in was reported at 6 a.m. in the 2600 block of Gondring Road in the city of Ceres, the sheriff's office said. Deputies who responded found a man identified as 22-year-old Christian Sanchez with serious injuries.
The sheriff's office said deputies tried giving first aid to Sanchez before he was transported to a hospital where he later died. Residents in the house told deputies that they woke up to a loud commotion they later found out was an unknown number of intruders with guns inside.
