Stockton Teen Killed Near Pixie Drive Identified as Andrew in Later Local Reporting
STOCKTON, Calif. — Stockton police are investigating after an 18-year-old man was shot late Friday night near Pixie Drive and Doray Court. Officers responded around 10:14 to 10:15 p.m. to the 2200 block of Pixie Drive, found the victim with gunshot wounds, and took him to a hospital, where he later died. Early police-based TV reports did not publish his name. Later local social reporting identified the victim as Andrew, 18.
What happened Friday night
The public timeline is consistent across the first wave of reporting. KCRA said officers found the victim in the 2200 block of Pixie Drive near Doray Court at about 10:14 p.m. CBS Sacramento placed the shooting in the area of Pixie Drive and Doray Court at about 10:15 p.m. Bay City News, republished by SFGate, reported that someone called police to say a man had been shot there.
Where the shooting happened
Bay City News described the area as Stockton’s Civic District. That matches the same general location described by KCRA and CBS Sacramento, both of which placed the shooting near Pixie Drive and Doray Court.
What police confirmed early
Police said the victim was 18 years old. CBS Sacramento reported he had been shot at least once. KCRA reported the victim later died at the hospital. Bay City News/SFGate said no arrests had been made in the initial reporting, and CBS said homicide detectives were actively investigating with no suspect or motive released at that stage.
Andrew named in later local reporting
The biggest update after the first TV stories is the victim’s first name. Earlier mainstream reports said his name had not yet been released. Later local social reporting from Stockton Chronicle identified the victim as Andrew, 18. Because the earliest police-based outlet reports still listed him as unnamed, the safest wording is to attribute the name to later local reporting unless Stockton police or the coroner publicly confirms it in a separate release.
Additional detail that surfaced later
Later local posts circulating online added more scene detail. One Stockton Chronicle-related snippet said Andrew was found next to a vehicle. Another local repost said Stockton police officers began lifesaving measures, including CPR, until paramedics arrived. Those details appear in later local social reporting and reshared police-summary posts, not in the earliest KCRA or CBS articles, so they should be presented that way.
What still has not been confirmed
As of the reports reviewed here, investigators had not publicly released a suspect description, a motive, or an arrest in the initial coverage. The early TV reporting also did not explain what led to the shooting or whether Andrew knew the shooter. Those questions remain unanswered in the first round of public reporting.
Stockton’s homicide count in 2026
KCRA reported this case marked Stockton’s eighth homicide of 2026. The station also reported that Stockton had 11 homicides at the same point last year. That does not explain this killing, but it does give readers useful local context.
Public images and scene visuals
The first major outlet stories did not offer much original scene photography. KCRA used a generic file photo, while SFGate’s Bay City News version used a Stockton Police Department seal image. Later local social posts added scene visuals and a memorial-style identification post naming Andrew. For your blog, the cleanest approach is to separate those clearly: use the scene image as reporting context and label any Andrew image as later local social reporting.
Anyone with information should contact police
CBS Sacramento said anyone with information can contact Stockton Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600 or Stockton Police Department investigators at (209) 937-8323.
Bottom line
This remains a developing Stockton homicide investigation. The core facts are steady across the first reports: an 18-year-old was shot Friday night near Pixie Drive and Doray Court, he later died at the hospital, and police had not publicly released a suspect or motive in the initial coverage. The main update is that later local social reporting identified the victim as Andrew, which adds an important human detail but does not change the basic facts of the case.
