On the late morning of Tuesday, August 4, 2026, 31-year-old Travis Lee Wine was fatally shot outside an apartment complex on the 400 block of Alameda del Prado in Novato, California, near Calle Arboleda. Multiple 911 callers reported gunfire just after 10 a.m.; officers found Wine with a life-threatening gunshot wound and paramedics transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators described the shooting as a targeted, gang-related attack and said Wine and the shooter knew each other. The suspect fled on foot toward Calle Arboleda, prompting a large search involving the Novato Police Department, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office drone, a California Highway Patrol aircraft and a Vallejo Police Department K-9. A shelter-in-place order for residents on Calle Arboleda and Alameda del Prado was lifted around 2:30 p.m.

The suspect remains at large. He is described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 6 inches tall, wearing dark pants, a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black ski mask. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office Coroner Division is pending completion of the investigation before announcing the official cause and manner of death. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspect, please contact the Novato Police Department.
