Fremont Shooting: Suspect Arrested After Incident

Fremont police said one person was arrested after a shooting on May 13 left a victim with non-life-threatening injuries in the area of Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive. The Fremont Police Department said officers were dispatched at about 6:17 p.m. after multiple callers reported a possible shooting and described a group of males fighting just before the gunfire. Officers initially did not find a victim at the scene, according to a department press release issued on May 14. Investigators later identified a suspect vehicle, tracked it to San Jose and arrested one person after a search warrant was served. ### Where did the shooting happen, and when did police first respond? The Fremont Police Department said the shooting was reported around 6:17 p.m. on May 13 near Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive. Multiple callers told dispatchers that a group of males had been fighting in the area before the shooting, police said. The location is in Fremont, a city in Alameda County southeast of Oakland. (fremontpolice.gov) Police did not identify the victim or the person arrested in the press release released the next day. ### Why did officers say they could not find a victim at first? Fremont police said officers arrived in the area but initially could not locate anyone who had been shot. (fremontpolice.gov) The department said the victim was later found at his home nearby with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The press release did not say how the victim got home before officers found him, and it did not describe the extent of his injuries beyond that assessment. (fremontpolice.gov) Police also did not say whether anyone else was hurt. ### How did investigators identify and arrest a suspect? Fremont police said witness interviews, surveillance footage and the department's Real Time Information Center helped investigators identify a possible suspect vehicle leaving the area. (fremontpolice.gov) As the evening continued, investigators went to San Jose and found the vehicle, according to the department. At about 9:47 p.m., San Jose Police's Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment, or MERGE, served a search warrant and detained multiple people, Fremont police said. Fremont investigators then took custody of those detainees and arrested one person for what the department described as a role "as a shooter." ### What have police said about the people involved? (fremontpolice.gov) The Fremont Police Department said only that one victim was a male and that one person was arrested. The department did not release names, ages or hometowns for the victim, the arrested person or the other people detained during the warrant service. Police also did not say what charges the arrested person may face, whether the suspect knew the victim, or what investigators believe led to the fight reported before the shooting. (fremontpolice.gov) Those details may emerge later through jail records, charging documents or future police updates. That is an inference based on the department's limited public statement and standard criminal case procedure. ### What role did San Jose police play in the case? San Jose police assisted Fremont investigators after the suspect vehicle was located in San Jose, according to Fremont police. The department specifically thanked San Jose Police's MERGE unit for helping apprehend the suspected offender. The Fremont Police Department said the case was resolved through work by its Patrol Division, Special Operations Division and Real Time Information Center, along with San Jose police assistance. (fremontpolice.gov) The department described the arrest as part of an active investigation rather than a closed case. ### What happens next in the investigation? Fremont police said the investigation is continuing and asked anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information to contact the Investigations Unit at (510) 790-6900. (fremontpolice.gov) The department also said anonymous tips can be submitted by text to 888-777 using the phrase "Tip FremontPD" followed by a message, or through the department's web tip system. The May 14 press release remains the department's public account of the case as of May 17, 2026, and Fremont police had not posted a further update on the department's news page. (fremontpolice.gov)
