Fremont Police Arrest Suspect After Shooting

Fremont police said a reported shooting near Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive on May 13 left one person wounded and led to an arrest later that night in San Jose. Officers responded at about 6:17 p.m. after multiple callers reported a possible shooting and a fight involving several males, according to a Fremont Police Department statement. The victim was later found at his home with injuries police described as non-life-threatening. One person was arrested for what police said was their role as the shooter. ### Where did the shooting happen, and when did officers respond? The Fremont Police Department said the shooting was reported around 6:17 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13, in the area of Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive. Witnesses told police that multiple males had been fighting in the area just before gunfire was heard, according to the department and a Bay City News report. The initial police response did not turn up a victim at the scene. Officers instead began interviewing witnesses and checking surveillance footage as they worked to determine whether a shooting had occurred and who might have been involved. ### How was the victim found if no one was at the scene? Fremont police said the wounded person was eventually located at his home in the area after officers canvassed for information. The department said the victim had non-life-threatening injuries. Bay City News, citing Fremont police, reported that the victim is expected to survive. Police did not publicly identify the victim or release details on the person's age, the nature of the injuries or whether the victim knew the suspect. ### How did investigators identify a suspect vehicle? Surveillance footage, witness interviews and the work of Fremont's Real Time Information Center helped investigators identify a possible suspect vehicle fleeing the area, the police department said. That gave detectives a direction of travel after officers were unable to immediately locate either a victim or a suspect at the original scene. The department said the investigation expanded through the evening as detectives traced the vehicle to San Jose. Police did not say in the statement how many people were believed to have been in the vehicle when it was found. ### What happened in San Jose later that night? San Jose police's Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment unit, known as MERGE, served a search warrant at about 9:47 p.m., Fremont police said. Multiple subjects were detained during that operation. Fremont investigators then took custody of the detained individuals and arrested one person for their role as a shooter, according to the department. Police did not release the suspect's name, booking details or any proposed charges in the public statement. ### What are police still trying to learn? Detectives are still working to establish the full sequence of events that led to the gunfire near Corrigan and Eggers drives. Fremont police said the case remains under investigation and asked anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to come forward. The department said tips can be provided directly to the Fremont Police Department Investigations Unit at (510) 790-6900. Anonymous tips can also be submitted by text by sending "Tip FremontPD" and a short message to 888-777, or through the department's online tip system, according to the statement. ### What comes next in the case? The next public steps are likely to be a booking record, charging decision or a follow-up statement from Fremont police or the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. As of the department's May 14 public release, police had confirmed one arrest, one surviving victim and an active request for witnesses and additional evidence.
