After speaking with the victim, investigators identified the suspect as Petaluma resident Angello Bautista, 23.

Rohnert Park officers and Petaluma police located Bautista in Petaluma and took him into custody without incident.

The investigation revealed that the 18-year-old victim was living in the same apartment as Bautista’s ex-girlfriend and the victim was targeted for that reason, according to the department.

The victim is expected to make a full recovery.
