San Francisco man arrested in connection with shooting incidents near UC Berkeley
Berkeley Police have arrested a 45-year-old San Francisco man in connection with a recent series of shooting incidents near the campus of UC Berkeley, officials said.
Jeffrey Darren Hue, was arrested Thursday at a private residence in San Francisco on suspicion of more than a dozen charges, including assault on a person with a firearm and discharging a firearm in a negligent manner.
He was found with an arsenal of weaponry, including assault rifles, handguns and ammunition, according to a Berkeley Police Department media release. As of Saturday afternoon, Alameda County records showed, Hue was being held at the Berkeley City Jail with bail set at $80,000.
Shortly after midnight on Oct. 26, police officers “responded to a series of gunfire incidents in the south campus area,†according to the Berkeley police statement.
In an email, Berkeley police officer Byron White identified six “gunfire locations†in the area of the UC Berkeley campus, including the 2400 blocks of Telegraph and Durant avenues; the 2200 blocks of Bancroft Way and University Avenue; the 2400 block of Durant Avenue; the 2300 block of Fulton Street and the 1100 block of Sutter Street.
“No one reported being injured/wounded from the gunfire,†White said. “It is unclear what the suspect may have been targeting,†he added.
Berkeley police said they identified Hue thanks to interviews with witnesses and a review of surveillance video, along with Shot Spotter and automated license plate recognition technologies.
Hue’s arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse.
The UC Berkeley, San Francisco and East Bay Regional Parks police departments, and the Berkeley and San Francisco fire departments, provided assistance, according to the Berkeley police statement.
The case remained under investigation Saturday morning.
