On May 24, 2026, around 3:30 a.m., Medford Police officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 300-Block of S Holly Street. Upon arrival, officers found a chaotic scene with multiple individuals both inside and outside the residence.

The investigation revealed that three subjects had been involved in a physical altercation outside the residence. As the parties were separating, one of them produced a handgun and fired several rounds into the air before retreating inside the home. Spent shell casings were recovered in the roadway, corroborating witness accounts.

Officers detained people outside the residence but multiple suspects remained inside and refused repeated lawful commands to exit. Officers were able to identify those still inside the residence and knew that they had violent criminal histories.

The MPD SWAT team was called out and assumed command of the scene. Once the scene was contained, announcements were made ordering the occupants to exit. The subjects inside eventually complied and were taken into custody without further incident.

During the ex*****on of a search warrant, officers located the handgun used in the incident discarded in the backyard, along with other fi****ms.

45 year-old, Enrique Delgadillo IV was lodged at the Jackson County Jail on multiple charges, including Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Domestic Violence Menacing, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and additional related offenses.

This remains an active investigation. No officers or bystanders were injured during the incident. Incident Number: 26-8370
