Fremont: Fatal officer-involved shooting closes roadway

Fremont: DA, police investigate fatal officer-involved shooting The fatal encounter unfolded after East Bay Regional Park District police notified Fremont police dispatch that one of their officers had made contact with a car “involving a firearm” in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store at 35015 Fremont Blvd., across the street from the Walgreens, Fremont police Sgt. Ricardo Cortés said. Parks police requested that Fremont officers respond for backup.

One of the officers contacted a suspect in the car after arriving at the store, and that suspect fled the parking lot, Cortés said. The shooting came moments later, and Cortés said two officers fired their weapons.

Cortés said the officers followed the suspect “over behind the Walgreens, where the officers did fire their weapons.” He said the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Police did not release any information about the suspect they detained.

No officers were injured.

The shooting came less than a month after two Fremont police detectives fatally shot a pregnant 16-year-old girl Antioch girl during an armed robbery investigation in Hayward. Police have not identified the two detectives, but information obtained by this newspaper through a public records request revealed the two detectives were dressed in plainclothes when they shot Elena Mondragon on March 14.

An eight-year veteran of the department, Officer James Taylor, fatally shot Nana Barfi Adomako on Feb. 5 during an altercation on Mowry Avenue near Sutter Drive, after Adomako had allegedly attacked employees in a wireless store. That officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the fight.

Lt. Alan Love with the parks district police said in an interview Monday that the parks district officer was initially drawn to the parking lot of the 7-Eleven by a person trying to get his attention.

“Our officer was flagged down by a citizen who reported seeing a subject with a firearm, which caused our officer to notify Fremont PD, as the subject was still on scene,” Love said. “To my understanding, he did not approach the car, he just requested backup.”

The clerk at the 7-Eleven told this newspaper the man who was shot by police had been in the store shortly before the incident began and had purchased cigarettes and beer.

Cortés could not confirm if the man shot by police had exchanged gunfire with officers, or if he had a gun on his person, saying the investigation is just underway.

A witness, Rory Christy, said he was walking up to the 7-Eleven when he saw an officer with his gun drawn, aimed at a car in the lot. When a man got out of the car and ran east across Fremont Boulevard, Christy said he heard gunshots.

Cortés said there was more than one person in the car and the other passengers were detained.

Officers from Newark, Hayward, San Leandro, Milpitas and the East Bay Regional Park District police agencies, as well as the California Highway Patrol assisted Fremont police.

Last June, two Fremont police officers were shot and wounded by a suspect, who later was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the lengthy standoff.
