Fremont man arrested in connection with fatal shooting
FREMONT — A 25-year-old Fremont man was arrested Wednesday in connection with a fatal shooting last week in the city, according to police.
The shooting was reported around 9:45 a.m. on March 5 at Stevenson Boulevard and Albrae Street.
Two vehicles were involved in the shooting, and officers arrived to find one of the drivers suffering from gunshot wounds, the Fremont Police Department said in a news release Thursday. He was taken to an area trauma center, where he died Saturday.
The other vehicle left the scene before the arrival of officers, according to police.
Detectives identified Sylvester Carver as a suspect in the case, police said. Carver was arrested Wednesday in the 5000 block of Hartnett Avenue in Richmond and booked into Santa Rita Jail on a murder charge.
The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office has since charged Carver with murder, attempted murder and two counts of willful discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
Detectives are continuing their investigation into the shooting. Anyone with information related to the case can contact Fremont police Detective Michael Gebhardt at 510-790-6900 or mgebhardt@fremont.gov.
