Two Arrested in Connection with June 11 Shooting Investigation

On the evening of June 11, Alameda Police officers and East Bay Regional Park District Police officers were monitoring a large gathering along Shoreline Drive when multiple gunshots were heard. Officers quickly located two victims, a juvenile and an adult, in the 300 block of Park Street. Investigators later determined that an individual retrieved a firearm, fired multiple rounds, and immediately fled the scene.

 

After identifying the involved vehicle and a suspect, officers alerted law enforcement agencies throughout the Bay Area. The vehicle was located on June 12, but the suspect remained outstanding. Detectives worked diligently with local and federal law enforcement partners to locate the suspect.

 

On Wednesday, July 8, members of the Alameda Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Task Force located and arrested a 19-year-old man in Antioch without incident. He was booked on charges of attempted murder. A second individual, an 18-year-old woman, was also arrested for accessory after the fact. While arrests have been made, the investigation remains ongoing.

 

We appreciate the community’s patience and support throughout this investigation. We understand the public’s desire for information and value the trust placed in our officers and investigators as they worked diligently to thoroughly pursue the facts. The time and care dedicated to this investigation allowed detectives to develop the case, identify those responsible, and make arrests without compromising the integrity of the investigation.

 

The safety of our community remains our highest priority. Unlawful gatherings like the one that occurred on June 11 have become a growing national trend, placing participants and innocent bystanders at serious risk.

 

Alameda is a welcoming city, and we want residents and visitors alike to enjoy a safe summer. We will not tolerate reckless or unlawful behavior that endangers our community, and we will hold those who compromise the safety of others accountable for their actions.

 

If you observe suspicious or unsafe activity, please report it to the Alameda Police Department's non-emergency line at (510) 337-8340, or call 911 if there is an emergency.
