DUBLIN — A 41-year-old man was arrested by California Highway Patrol (CHP) Dublin officers on charges of felony child endangerment and weapons violations following a shooting on Interstate 580 in Livermore, authorities said.
The arrest followed a shooting Saturday, Jan. 24, on eastbound Interstate 580 west of Fallon Road. CHP Dublin officers were dispatched to the scene at approximately 5:35 p.m.
The suspect was identified as Antoine Maurice Nolan of Oakland. He was detained and held for questioning by detectives before being booked into Santa Rita Jail, according to a press statement from CHP Dublin officer Tyler Hahn.
Authorities did not release information on the age of the child or whether the child was related to Nolan.
Dublin officers determined the shooting involved passengers within the vehicle and did not involve any other vehicles.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the lower body.
Following the shooting, officials said the suspect threw the firearm from the vehicle.
During the investigation, all lanes of eastbound Interstate 580 were temporarily closed to allow officers to recover the discarded firearm and check for any additional evidence related to the incident.
Detectives assigned to the CHP Golden Gate Division Major Crime Unit are continuing the investigation, authorities said.
The Independent reached out to CHP Dublin for additional details regarding the suspect but did not receive a response in time for publication.
CHP Capt. Gerardo Serrato praised officers for their response to the incident.
“I am incredibly proud of the quick and detailed response of our California Highway Patrol officers and detectives,” Serrato said in a press statement. “I want to remind the public that your safety and the safety of others on the road are our top priority.”
