San Bernardino police have released the name of a man arrested after a shooting in the 1200 block of West King Street.

Paulino Uzueta, 19, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He is accused of shooting Chris Fehoko, 25, during a gang-related dispute, San Bernardino police said. The victim is a documented Los Angeles area gang member, Lt. Scott Paterson said in a news release.

Uzueta was arrested after a San Bernardino police SWAT team and other officers surrounded a house where neighbors reported shots had been fired.

The shooting occurred shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday, and Uzueta was arrested about 1:30 p.m.

Police obtained a search warrant and entered the house, where they allegedly found marijuana and a loaded weapon. Uzueta also faces charges for possession of marijuana for sale and felony possession of a firearm, Paterson said.

Uzueta is being held at the West Valley Detention Center.
