Vallejo Shooting Suspect Arrested in San Mateo County

The 19-year-old man was arrested at his father's apartment in El Granada on Wednesday.

San Mateo County sheriff's deputies arrested an El Granada man Wednesday morning in connection with a Monday shooting in Vallejo, a sheriff's deputy said.

Samuel Turner, 19, was arrested at his father's apartment in the 400 block of Coronado Street in El Granada, sheriff's Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said.

The sheriff's office received an anonymous tip about Turner's whereabouts on Tuesday, Rosenblatt said. Sheriff's deputies surveilled the apartment building until they saw Turner, whom they identified from pictures sent by Vallejo police, Rosenblatt said.

The San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force and the sheriff's office set up a perimeter around the apartment and tried to contact Turner by phone between 3 p.m. and Tuesday evening, Rosenblatt said.

Turner did not answer calls, and the San Mateo County SWAT team and Redwood City Police Department's SWAT team cleared the inside of the apartment around 9:40 p.m., Rosenblatt said.

Turner was not found, but he called 911 this morning and surrendered at his residence, Rosenblatt said.

Turner is suspected of shooting an 18-year-old man during an argument on Voyager Drive around 3:30 p.m. Monday. Vallejo police were unavailable to release more information about the shooting.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
