Authorities in East Palo Alto, in a collaborative sting with the U.S. Marshals Service and other local law enforcement agencies brought down two suspects tied to a non-fatal shooting incident from October. An early morning operation saw police execute arrest warrants at a residence located on the 2800 block of Georgetown Street, according to a statement from the East Palo Alto Police Department.
The duo was found and apprehended without incident, and a search of the location yielded a firearm. The suspects, whose names have not been released, are facing serious charges, including attempted homicide, firing into an inhabited building, and assault with a deadly weapon. They're now cooling their heels in the San Mateo County Jail as they await their day in court.
In a demonstration of multi-agency cooperation, the East Palo Alto Police Department publicly acknowledged the support received from the law enforcement community. "The East Palo Alto Police Department would like to thank the U.S. Marshals Service, the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this investigation," officials stated on their Facebook page.
