Fremont Police are conducting a death investigation in the 37800 Block of Third Street.
Today at 5:09 p.m., Fremont Police Patrol Officers responded to conduct a welfare check of residents living in the 37800 block of Third Street in the Niles District. A family member of the residents called our dispatch center earlier in the afternoon to request a welfare check after not hearing from their family members for two days. When officers arrived, they knocked on the door and had no response. Upon further investigation they observed what appeared to be a non-responsive adult female and dog through the window. Officers immediately summoned Fremont Fire and forced entry into the house. When they entered the residence, the female and dog were found to be deceased. An adult male was also located deceased inside the residence. Based on visual observations, all three appear to have been deceased for more than a day. A firearm was located in close proximity to one of the victims.
Patrol officers secured the scene and our detective call-out protocol has been initiated. It’s too early in the investigation to confirm the cause of death. At this time officers believe this to be an isolated incident, posing no further security concern to our community.
We don’t anticipate any further updates this evening. Anyone with information about this case is asked to please contact the Fremont Police Department at 510-790-6800 x 3. We will also accept anonymous tips via text. Please text TIP FremontPD followed by the message to 888777.
