San Andreas, Ca — The Calaveras County Sheriff´s Department is continuing its search for 39-year-old Lee Rod Wilson, the man who allegedly shot his brother at a party in Avery this past Saturday night.

The shooting took place at a birthday party in the 500 block of Sorrel Rd. Wilson´s 37-year-old brother Jimmy was airlifted to a hospital in Modesto, and has since been released.
