Three suspects were arrested after gunfire erupted at a house party north of Village Drive in Victorville.

Those arrested included Mrdyron Thomas, 18, of Victorville, Jaiden Porter, 18, of Hesperia and a 17-year-old boy from Hesperia, the Victorville Sheriff’s Station reported.

Sheriff’s officials said that at approximately 11:52 p.m. on Friday, deputies were dispatched to a report of gunshots heard in the 15000 block of Venice Lane.

While deputies were en route, Sheriff’s Dispatch received additional information that there was a large house party at the location, where several subjects began fighting outside of the residence and multiple gunshots were heard.

Upon arrival, deputies located multiple fired cartridge casings and conducted traffic stops on vehicles attempting to flee the location.

During that time, the three suspects were identified and apprehended without incident. Also, two firearms were recovered, including a 9mm Polymer “Ghost Gun,”  sheriff’s officials said.

At the time of the sheriff’s press release, no gunshot wound victims had been reported as a result of this shooting.

The 17-year-old from Hesperia was cited for misdemeanor carrying a loaded firearm-not the owner and released to his parent.

Thomas was booked at High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto for allegedly shooting at an inhabited dwelling.

Porter was also booked at HDDC for assault with a deadly weapon and shooting at an inhabited dwelling.

Bail for Thomas and Porter was set at $250,000 apiece. They are scheduled to appear Tuesday in Victorville Superior Court, booking records show.

Anyone with information about this investigation is asked by the Sheriff’s Station to contact the Victorville Sheriff’s Station at 760-241-2911 or Sheriff’s Dispatch at 760-956-5001.
