UCPD officers are looking for a male that ran from the Motel 6 in U.C. around 11 this morning. The want is unknown, but he was last seen jumping from the second floor balcony, and checking his waistband as he ran. The Motel 6 has been advised to lock down their guests and nearby business are being told via phone about the wanted subject. Fremont PD has sent a drone crew and HPD has sent several officers to assist. The Motel 6 is located on Industrial off of Whipple.
At 11:22 an officer has a man in the alley behind the Motel 6 that is "non compliant". Numerous officers rolling in. He is now compliant and proned out. Subject in custody.

This event began around 10:52 when a person reported a man parked in a car in the Decoto district with an assault weapon on his lap. A description of the vehicle was given out and a few minutes later a canine officer spotted the vehicle a few block away and followed it onto westbound Whipple. Other officers joined in before an enforcement stop was initiated. The car failed to yield to the red light and accelerated westbound at a speed of 70 mph. The vehicle then stopped or crashed near the Motel 6 and the subject ran into the motel parking lot. The canine officer located an "AK" on the driver's floorboard of the suspect car. After a search of 20 minutes or so, the suspect was located in an alley behind the Motel 6 and taken into custody, but will be transported to a hospital for unknown injuries. This may be the break UCPD is looking for to solve recent shootings involving bullets used from AK-47 style weapons.
Update: listening to the ambulance call the hospital "en route with an 18 year old male in police custody...jumped off a 20 foot wall, landed on his right flank on some rocks. No head injury."
I hope this is who they have been looking for.
