Detectives with the California Highway Patrol have arrested the main suspect allegedly involved in an Oakland freeway shooting this summer, the agency said.
On June 20, CHP received reports of a freeway shooting near the Interstate Highway 580 interchange with state Highway 24.
Though the victim’s vehicle was struck by a single bullet, they were not harmed by the gunfire, police said.
After an investigation, detectives identified the suspect as 57-year-old Oakley resident Nestor Palacios.
On Thursday around 5:35 p.m., law enforcement took Palacios into custody without incident.
During his arrest, detectives allege they discovered Palacios carrying a concealed, loaded pistol.
Palacios has been booked into Martinez Detention Facility on suspicion of attempted murder, shooting at a vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon and concealed carry of a firearm.

What is Palacios’ immigration status?

This info should be released as a standard policy given the number of illegal immigrants invading this country. Citizens and authorized residents have the right to know who is commiting crimes.

There ought to be a law.
Prosecute to the fullest extent … oh yeah… the Alameda DA
Just put him in the chair and be done with it.
Zap!
I’m trying to understand why a 57-year-old from Oakley would be shooting at a car on the freeway. Road rage?
Why did it take from June 20th to September 11th to figure out who was allegedly involved in firing what seems like a single shot on a freeway and to make the arrest? That’s nearly three months.
