Berkeley woman arrested after gunfire on Harmon Street
Officers found a gun and other evidence Monday in the Berkeley home of Sabrina Valadez-Rios, police said.
Police arrested a Berkeley woman this week in connection with a non-injury shooting that stemmed from a domestic dispute, authorities report.
The incident dates back to Sept. 7 when BPD was dispatched at 1:45 a.m. to the 1400 block of Harmon Street for gunfire detected by OPD's ShotSpotter system.
Officers found a casing in the area but no property damage.
Video surveillance showed the shooter's vehicle leaving the area, Berkeley police said in response to a Scanner inquiry.
Police tracked down the suspected shooter using Flock's automated license plate reader camera system and got a warrant for her arrest, BPD said.
