Attempted Murder Suspect Held Without Bail

The 19 year old Union City man arrested Wednesday morning in Union City is being held at Santa Rita jail without bail.  He has been charged with ten felonies and is scheduled back in court on January 31st for a plea hearing.    In addition to attempted murder, he is also charged with shooting at an occupied house or car and assault with a semi-automatic firearm.  While he was arrested for first degree murder, charges brought to court were apparently reduced to attempted murder.   UCPD has not commented on this arrest, but it is possible that he was one of two shooters in the wee hours last November that killed two boys sitting inside a van.  Perhaps the evidence is sketchy as to which firearm killed who.
