Police Investigate 2 Shootings That Left 3 People Wounded : Crime: The victims are recovering, while authorities are trying to determine if the separate incidents were gang-related.

Three victims of two apparently unrelated shootings were recovering Wednesday from their wounds, but police have so far been unable to make arrests in either case.

A 19-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man were wounded Tuesday night in a drive-by shooting--suspected to be gang-related--in Santa Ana, police said.

Both victims, Romelia Silva of West Chestnut Road and Filberto Salinas of South Raitt Street, were taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange after the 9:15 p.m. shooting, which occurred on the 1000 block of West Chestnut, police said.

The victims were sitting outside a house on West Chestnut when a vehicle with its headlights turned off slowly drove by, Santa Ana Police Sgt. Gary Bruce said. A passenger in the car leaned out the window and fired several shots from a handgun, Bruce said.

Salinas was shot in the back of the head, and Silva was treated for a flesh wound to her arm, police said.

Both were released from the hospital Wednesday. Neither could be reached for comment.

In an unrelated shooting in Orange, a 22-year-old man was shot several times in the chest and head by two teen-agers who confronted him near the intersection of Cypress and Walnut avenues and then began firing, police said. The victim, Leonardo Campos, 22, lives nearby, but police do not know whether he knows the youths who shot him, said Lt. Timm Browne of the Orange Police Department.

Although the area where the shooting took place has what Browne called “gang affiliations,” police have not determined whether the shooting was gang-related.

Campos was taken out of intensive care at UCI Medical Center but was still in serious condition Wednesday.
