Suspect Arrested After Fremont Shooting

Fremont police said one person was arrested after a shooting on May 13 near Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive left one victim with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers responded at about 6:17 p.m. after multiple callers reported a possible shooting and described a group of males fighting in the area beforehand, the department said in a news release posted May 14. Police said officers initially could not find a victim at the scene. The victim was later located at his home in the area, Fremont police said. Investigators identified a possible suspect vehicle through witness interviews, surveillance footage and the department's Real Time Information Center, according to the release. As the investigation continued that evening, officers tracked the vehicle to San Jose and sought a warrant. ### Where did the shooting happen, and when did officers respond? Fremont police said the shooting was reported around the area of Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive at approximately 6:17 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13. Callers told dispatchers that several males had been fighting in the area shortly before gunfire was reported, according to the department. The location is in Fremont's Warm Springs area, near the San Jose border. Police did not say in the release what led to the fight or whether the people involved knew one another. ### How was the victim found if officers did not locate anyone at first? Fremont police said officers arrived and were unable to immediately locate a shooting victim. The victim was later found at his home in the area, where police determined he had suffered injuries that were not life-threatening. The department did not identify the victim, disclose the person's age or gender, or say how the victim got home before officers located him. Police also did not report any fatalities in the incident. ### How did police make the arrest? Witness interviews, surveillance and work by Fremont's Real Time Information Center helped investigators identify a possible suspect vehicle leaving the area, police said. Later that evening, investigators went to San Jose and located the vehicle, then obtained a search warrant, according to the release. At about 9:47 p.m., San Jose Police's Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment unit served the warrant and detained multiple subjects, Fremont police said. Fremont investigators then took custody of those detainees and arrested one person "for their role as a shooter," the department said. Police did not release the name of the person arrested, list any charges, or say whether additional suspects remain under investigation. ### What have police said about the investigation? Fremont police described the case as an active investigation and credited both the department's patrol and special operations divisions with helping resolve the shooting. The department also thanked the San Jose Police Department for assisting with the apprehension. The May 14 release did not say whether a firearm was recovered, whether prosecutors had filed charges, or when the arrested person would make a first court appearance. Alameda County court records may provide the next public update if charges are filed. ### What should witnesses or tipsters do now? Fremont police said anyone who witnessed the incident or has information should contact the department's Investigations Unit at (510) 790-6900. The department also said it accepts anonymous tips by text using "Tip FremontPD" to 888-777 or through its online tip system. Any next formal update is likely to come from Fremont police or Alameda County prosecutors if charges are announced.
