Armed Carjacking Suspect Arrested
On June 6, 2017, a victim was carjacked in Fremont near Darwin Dr. and Denham Dr. (Northgate/Warwick area). When officers arrived to take a report, the victim described the suspect as a black male adult with a handgun. On June 13, 2017, patrol officers located the carjacked vehicle unoccupied near the Northgate Community Park. Members of the Special Investigations Unit then setup surveillance on the vehicle.
Later in the evening, the stolen vehicle began travelling into the Cabrillo neighborhood and additional officers responded to assist. A CHP Air Unit was also requested and responded. At approximately 9:35 p.m., Fremont officers conducted a high-risk stop of the vehicle and detained three occupants. All three subjects were brought to the Fremont Police Department for questioning. The carjacking victim identified one of the subjects as the suspect who committed the carjacking.
Robbery detectives obtained a search warrant of the suspect’s residence and located additional evidence. Solomon Howard, an 18 year old Fremont resident, was arrested and booked for armed carjacking.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Fremont Police Investigative Unit at 510-790-6900.
