A San Jose man was arrested on charges of firing six shots into an occupied house in the Belle Haven neighborhood in the early morning hours of Oct. 27, said Menlo Park police.
Six people were inside the house at the time of the shooting; no one was injured, said police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.
Sgt. Ron Prickett pursued a red SUV with its lights blacked out that was racing away from the 1300 block of Madera Street, where the shooting occurred, Ms. Acker said. The vehicle headed over the Dumbarton Bridge to Jarvis and Haley streets in Newark. The suspect, identified as Arnoldo Anguiano, 28, bailed out and was found hiding in a yard by officers from the Fremont Police Department. A 9 mm handgun was found in his SUV, Ms. Acker said.
Mr. Anguiano was arrested on charges of attempted murder, shooting into an inhabited dwelling, evading police and possession of a firearm. The incident is still under investigation, but police believe the shooting was in retaliation for an altercation at a nightclub.
Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact Menlo Park police at 330-6300 or call the anonymous tip hotline at 330-6395.
