VICTORVILLE – Deputies are investigating a fight that occurred in the 16500 block of Green Tree Boulevard on Monday, June 11, 2018, in the City of Victorville.

The fight involved the Emmanuel Gomez, the 23-year-old son of Victorville City Councilwoman, Blanca Gomez and 22-year-old Israel Martinez. When deputies arrived, they located Gomez and Martinez near the curb of a home in the 16500 block of Green Tree Boulevard in the City of Victorville. Through investigation, deputies learned that the two men went to the home to speak to a relative that they believed were at the home. An occupant made contact with the two men that were looking into the front window of the home and asked them to leave. Gomez and Martinez left but returned when they noticed a vehicle pull into the driveway of the home.

“When they returned the second time they made contact with another person at the house and an argument ensued between Gomez and that person,” said Victorville Spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez. “Gomez and Martinez were again told to leave the location multiple times as they continued to advance toward the front door of the house.” The verbal altercation became physical and Gomez was struck in the face causing him to fall to the ground. The fall and blow to his face caused multiple injuries. Martinez was not injured as a result of the altercation but was arrested for being drunk in public.

The investigation into this incident is on-going and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective C. Cincotta at the Victorville Police Department, (760) 241-2911.
