Police apprehended two 19 -year-old suspects on Friday in a possible road rage dispute during a traffic stop that left a motorist wounded on Wednesday near the entrance of the Otay Ranch Mall.
Gillio Calais Repetto of Bonita was jailed on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and Serenity Renee Nieblas, the woman allegedly driving the vehicle when the events unfolded, was booked for allegedly aiding the escape of a wanted suspect.
The shooting occured at around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Olympic Parkway and Town Center Drive, causing a closure in Eastbound traffic from state Route 125. Nieblas and the driver of another car stopped for a red light alongside one another on Olympic Parkway at Town Center Drive, Chula Vista Police Department Capt. Phil Collum said.
Moments later, Repetto and the man behind the wheel of the other vehicle got out and began fighting for unknown reasons, according to police. Repetto allegedly shot the other man with a
Handgun during the scuffle then got back into Nieblas' silver Hyundai, at which point she allegedly drove off to the east.
The victim, a 34-year-old Chula Vista resident, drove away while calling 911. After reporting the shooting, he pulled over and waited for paramedics, who took him to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening bullet wounds. His name has not been released.
Police have not indicated a relationship between the victim and either suspect if any.
