Fremont shooting suspect arrested

Fremont police said they arrested one suspected shooter after a May 13 shooting near Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive that left one person with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers were dispatched at about 6:17 p.m. after multiple callers reported a possible shooting and described a group of males fighting in the area just beforehand, according to a department news release. Police said officers initially could not find a victim at the scene, then identified a possible suspect vehicle through witness interviews, surveillance footage and the department’s Real Time Information Center. Later that night, investigators tracked the vehicle to San Jose, where one person was arrested on suspicion of acting as the shooter, police said. ### Where did the shooting happen, and when did officers get the call? The Fremont Police Department said the shooting was reported around the area of Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive on Wednesday, May 13. The first calls came in at approximately 6:17 p.m., with callers telling dispatchers that a fight involving several males had taken place shortly before gunfire was reported. (fremontpolice.gov) Corrigan Drive and Eggers Drive are in Fremont, and police said officers searched the area after arriving but did not immediately locate anyone who had been shot. That gap between the initial response and the discovery of the victim became a central detail in the department’s account of how the case unfolded. ### How was the injured person found? The victim was later found at his home in the area, Fremont police said. (fremontpolice.gov) The department said the person had injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The police release did not identify the victim by name, give an age, or say how the person got from the scene to the home before officers located him. Police also did not say whether the victim knew the suspect or the people involved in the reported fight. (fremontpolice.gov) ### How did investigators identify a suspect? Witness interviews, surveillance footage and work by Fremont police’s Real Time Information Center helped investigators identify a possible suspect vehicle leaving the area, according to the department. (fremontpolice.gov) Police said that lead gave investigators a path to follow as the case developed over the next several hours. A warrant was later written and approved after investigators located the vehicle in San Jose, police said. (fremontpolice.gov) The department did not name the arrested person, list any charges, or say whether additional arrests were expected. ### What happened in San Jose? At about 9:47 p.m., San Jose Police’s Mobile Emergency Response Group and Equipment unit served the search warrant and detained multiple subjects, Fremont police said. (fremontpolice.gov) Fremont investigators then took custody of those detainees and arrested one person for what the department described as a role as the shooter. San Jose police assisted in the apprehension, and Fremont police credited both its Patrol Division and Special Operations Division in the case. (fremontpolice.gov) The release did not say whether a firearm was recovered or whether the detained subjects besides the arrested suspect were released. ### What do police still want from the public? Fremont police said the investigation is still active and asked anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information to contact the department’s Investigations Unit at (510) 790-6900. (fremontpolice.gov) The department also said it accepts anonymous tips by text using “Tip FremontPD” to 888-777 and through its web tip system. May 14 is the date of the department’s public release on the case, and Fremont police have not yet announced the suspect’s name, court appearance details or any charging decision. (fremontpolice.gov) Anyone with additional information is being directed to the Investigations Unit as the next step in the case.
