From FPD:
Suspect Alexander Eullo arrested by Fremont PD SWAT following shooting
On May 9, 2020 at 12:20 p.m., a 46-year-old male victim arrived at Washington Hospital. He advised staff he had just been shot and then collapsed near the emergency room doors. An x-ray showed the victim had suffered a single gunshot wound to his back and the bullet was lodged close to his aorta. Due to the location of the bullet and severity of the injury, paramedics requested a specialized ambulance to transport the victim to a trauma center.
Fremont patrol units responded to the hospital and immediately began to investigate the incident. Crimes Against Person(s) detectives were called out and responded to assist with the investigation. Prior to being transported to the trauma center, officers were able to speak with the victim and gather details regarding the shooting.
Evidence of a crime scene was found in a parking lot of a business, located in the 37300 block of Blacow Rd. Video surveillance evidence and witness statements led to a potential suspect in the shooting (Alexander Eullo; 40-year-old resident of Union City). An arrest warrant for Eullo was authored and signed by an Alameda County Judge.
The Fremont Police Department SWAT team was called in to help locate Eullo. At approximately 11:55 p.m., Eullo was spotted in the parking lot of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in the City of San Jose. Eullo initially ran from officers, but was safely apprehended.
The victim statement, video evidence, witness statements, physical evidence and suspect confession led investigators to believe that the shooting was not random; Eullo and the victim had known each other for some time and the shooting was a result of money owed between the two. The victim’s medical condition has remained stable, and he is expected to survive his injuries.
Investigators believe the firearm used by Eullo was discarded in the area. It’s believed Eullo threw the firearm out of a car window as he fled from the area. The firearm is believed to be somewhere on Blacow Rd (between Central Ave and Eggers Dr.) near the west bush line. Investigators have looked for the firearm but have not yet located it. We are asking the public to be on the lookout for the firearm if in the area and immediately call 911 should it be found. Please do not touch the firearm, as it is critical evidence in this case.
Eullo remains in custody (Santa Rita jail) on a no-bail hold for charges of attempted murder and discharge of a firearm at a person causing great bodily injury. Eullo is also being held on two additional unrelated warrants. The case will be presented to the Alameda County District Attorney for charging on the morning of May 11, 2020.
