Isac J. Vuelvas-Jimenez, 44, of the 1000 block of Indian Avenue, was charged with one count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Juan J. Haro Beltran, 42, of the 600 block of South Kendall Street, faces five charges:

While officers and detectives canvassed the area, evidence technicians from the department's Bureau of Investigations responded to investigate the "specific circumstances of the incident."

During the preliminary investigation, detectives learned two of the men arrested were involved in drug-related activities that resulted in a man suffering a single gunshot wound in the left arm, officials said Friday. The victim is in stable condition, according to police.
