Fremont Police said a May 13 shooting near Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive left one person with non-life-threatening injuries 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 said a group of males had been fighting in the area shortly beforehand. Police said they initially did not find a victim at the scene. Investigators later identified a suspect vehicle, tracked it to San Jose and arrested one person for their role as the shooter. ### How did police say the shooting unfolded? May 13 at about 6:17 p.m., Fremont officers were dispatched to the area of Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive on reports of a possible shooting, according to a department press release posted the next day. Multiple callers told police that several males were fighting in the area before the shooting was reported. (fremontpolice.gov) The scene did not immediately yield a victim, police said. Fremont investigators later found the victim at his home in the area with injuries that police described as non-life-threatening. Bay City News, citing Fremont police, reported the victim was expected to survive. ### Why did the arrest happen in San Jose instead of Fremont? Fremont Police said witness interviews, surveillance footage and work by the department's Real Time Information Center helped identify a possible suspect vehicle leaving the area after the shooting. (fremontpolice.gov) Investigators then traced that vehicle to San Jose as the evening continued. A warrant was later written and approved, according to the Fremont release. (fremontpolice.gov) At about 9:47 p.m., San Jose Police's Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment, or MERGE, served the search warrant and detained multiple subjects, Fremont police said. ### Who was arrested, and were others taken into custody? One person was arrested for their role as the shooter, Fremont Police said. (fremontpolice.gov) The department did not identify the suspect in the public release and did not announce any additional arrests. Multiple people were detained when the warrant was served in San Jose, but Fremont investigators ultimately took custody of those individuals and arrested one of them in connection with the shooting, according to police. (fremontpolice.gov) The department did not say whether the others were released or remained under investigation. ### What details remain unclear? (fremontpolice.gov) Fremont Police did not release a motive, describe the relationship between the victim and the suspect, or say what led to the fight reported before the gunfire. The department also did not say how many shots were fired or whether investigators recovered a weapon. The public account from police leaves open parts of the timeline between the initial response in Fremont and the warrant service in San Jose about three and a half hours later. (fremontpolice.gov) Fremont police said only that the vehicle was located in San Jose "as the evening progressed" before the warrant was approved. ### What are police asking the public to do now? (fremontpolice.gov) Fremont Police said anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information about the case should contact the department's Investigations Unit. The published number for the unit is (510) 790-6900, according to the police department's staff directory and the shooting release. The case remains under investigation, police said. (fremontpolice.gov) Fremont's release thanked the San Jose Police Department for assisting in the apprehension, and the next public updates would likely come through additional police statements or court filings if charges are filed.
