HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — The Hesperia police department is investigating after a man walking had a gun pointed at him, officials said.

It happened on Sunday, May 19, 2019, at about 4:10 pm., near the intersection of I Avenue and Preston Street.

Deputy Strathmann responded and learned that while the victim was walking passed Mark’s Liquor store, a tan Chevrolet S10 pulled up behind the victim.
