Terry Morgan.The cyclist turned around, parked across the street from the home, yelled out the name of a gang and shot up to six rounds at the home, Morgan said. The shooting occurred about 9:45 p.m.
Montoya, apparently attempting to flee, suffered a gunshot wound to the right buttock, Morgan said. Bullets also pierced the home's aluminum siding.
