RIVERBANK, CA - Stanislaus County Sheriff's deputies say two of the three people wanted in a deadly shooting outside of an ampm Thursday are considered armed and dangerous.
Deputy Andrew Winter said detectives were able to identify two shooting suspects as 14-year-old Turlock Diaz of Turlock and 18-year-old Daniel Pantoja of Riverbank.
