San Diego County Sheriff's deputies, who are still searching for a teen who allegedly fired a burst from an assault rifle behind a home in Poway on Tuesday, released more information about the case the day after the incident.

Several callers reported Cameron Johnson, 18, firing multiple rounds in a field near Hidden Valley Drive and Birch Lane around 1 p.m., according to deputies. The field is near where Johnson's grandmother lives, investigators said.

On Wednesday, deputies said that they found the gun in nearby brush after the shooting, and that it was later determined to be an unserialized weapon, more commonly known as a ghost gun. They also said they had searched the teen's home — which is also in Poway; it's not clear if he lives with his grandmother or just lives nearby — and found body armor and ghost-gun parts as well.

Sheriff's ASTREA helicopter joined in the search Tuesday for Johnson, who was last seen wearing what deputies described as military fatigues and a white-and-tan hat. Officials did not believe he was armed since they had custody of the rifle and stated that they believed there was no longer a threat to public safety.

Deputies stated around 10 p.m. that they saw Johnson return to the field behind the home, but by 4 a.m., law enforcement had cleared the scene and said they would be conducting a "follow-up investigation."

As of Wednesday, Johnson is still being sought by investigators, who said he ran into an area of "dense vegetation" when deputies arrived on Tuesday.

A sheriff's sergeant told NBC 7 that deputies have responded to complaints at this address in the past, though the official did not detail the nature of those calls; however, the sergeant did say the calls did not involve the discharge of weapons.

On Wednesday, the sheriff's department said Johnson was wanted for negligent discharge of a firearm, possession of an unserialized assault rifle and violating a Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO). Later on Wednesday, a spokesman for the sheriff's department said that the GVRO was issued when Johnson was a minor and is sealed.

As the investigation continues, anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Poway Sheriff's Station at 858-513-2800.

The effort to recall embattled Poway City Councilmember Tony Blain was ahead, according to early returns Tuesday.

Blain has only been in office since last December. Since his swearing in, he’s been accused of vote trading and threatening and harassing city staffers and other officials.

Plus, he's been charged by the San Diego County District Attorney's office with four felonies and a misdemeanor.

In August, the City Council voted to hold a special municipal election in November after enough signatures from District 2 residents were collected to place the recall on the ballot.

Only voters living in Poway's District 2 are eligible to vote in the Nov. 4 recall.

John Mullin, one of the organizers of the recall, said even the people who voted for Blain, supported the recall.

"They realize that he lied to them. They realize he can't do anything he said he could do. They realize what destruction he is causing, what damage he's causing to the city, how much he's still costing the city,” Mullin said.

Blain was elected to the Poway City Council last December. Problems started almost immediately. He was accused of vote trading and threatening and harassing city staffers and other officials, including City Attorney Alan Fenstermacher, who lashed out during a council meeting in January.

In February, Blain was censured by the Poway City Council, a first for the city. In April, the city took an unprecedented step of suing Blain to force him to comply with the California Public Records Act and to stop him from destroying records.

The city said the lawsuit was filed as a "last resort to prevent significant liability for the city."

In October, Blain was charged with felony perjury, asking for a bribe, soliciting a bribe and destruction of public papers, as well as a misdemeanor for stealing a campaign sign.

Blain was supposed to be arraigned on Monday, but a judge granted a continuance until January due to his deployment overseas as a U.S. Army Reserve doctor.

If a simple majority of residents vote “no,” the recall has failed and Blain will remain in office.

But if a simple majority of residents vote “yes,” he will be removed from office and the position will remain vacant until it’s filled. A City Council policy passed in April requires that a special election be held to fill a vacant seat with more than 18 months remaining in its term.

Poway’s District 2 is one of four council districts in the city, which has a population of just under 50,000 people.

Counting the ballots

According to the County Registrar of Voters, the first returns available around 8 p.m. on election night only include mail-in ballots and vote center ballots received before Election Day.

After that, results on election night will include only the vote center ballots cast on Nov. 4. The Registrar continues to count remaining ballots and post returns until the election is certified on Dec. 2.
