STEVENSON RANCH – Authorities have caught the 19-year-old man suspected of shooting and wounding a woman during a robbery in the driveway of her Stevenson Ranch home.
Jeremy Hernandez was arrested Monday evening, thanks to an anonymous tip, according to a news release from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
