On Saturday, January 23, 2021 at about 4:40 pm, San Rafael Police Officers responded to the area of Canal Street at Novato Street on the report of a shooting.  Upon arrival, units located a male with a gunshot wound to the chest.  After the scene was determined to be safe, San Rafael Fire responded into the scene and rendered medical aid.  They transported the victim to a local hospital.  The victim is alive but is paralyzed because of the shooting.

San Rafael Detectives responded to the scene.  Based on the initial investigation and witness interviews, it appeared there was a verbal altercation between the victim and the suspect as they walked down Canal Street towards Novato Street.  The suspect and victim knew each other from past contacts.  As they continued down Canal Street, a vehicle, occupied by two people parked in a driveway.  The female driver, later identified as Daisy Rodriguez, stepped out of the vehicle and yelled to the suspect to shoot the victim.  The suspect shot the victim, got into the vehicle driven by Rodriguez, and they fled the scene.

Later that evening at about 7:40 pm, San Rafael Police Officers located Daisy Rodriguez driving in a different car in the area of 330 Bellam Blvd., San Rafael.  A traffic stop was made on her vehicle and she was taken into custody without incident.  Rodriguez was interviewed by San Rafael Detectives and was booked at the Marin County Jail for Attempted Homicide, Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Aiding and Abetting a Crime.
