SAN LEANDRO — A 29-year-old man was arrested in San Jose Sunday night less than six hours after he is suspected of a drive-by shooting at a Walmart parking lot that left another man wounded, police said Monday.
The man who was shot, who police said knew the suspect, was treated and released for a gunshot wound to the neck.
Police identified the suspect as Israel Jaquez but did not say where he lived. He was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, felon in possession of a firearm and other firearm counts. He is being held without bail.
The shooting happened about 12:35 p.m. Sunday in the Walmart parking lot, 15555 Hesperian Blvd. Police did not release the name, age or residence of the victim who was walking in the lot when he was shot. No one else was injured.
San Leandro detectives were able to retrieve video evidence from Walmart which greatly assisted in the investigation, Lt. Isaac Benabou said in a news release.
From the video detectives were able to get information about the vehicle used in the shooting which eventually led to Jaquez being identified and where he might be found.
San Leandro detectives arrested him in San Jose about 6 p.m. Sunday. The car used in the shooting was recovered and inside the vehicle police found a stolen handgun believed to be the one used in the shooting, police said.
Police said the two men knew each other but a motive has not been determined.
