Bookmark and Share
A 24-year-old man was arrested early Sunday, Dec. 9, following a shooting in the 1300 block of Windermere Avenue in Menlo Park.

Geoffrey Smith of Truckee, Calif., was booked into San Mateo County jail in connection with the firing of several gunshots at a Windermere Avenue residence, police said.

No one was injured, said Sgt. Tim Brackett of the Menlo Park Police Department.

Police said they received a report of the gunshots at 1:29 a.m. Officers found a vehicle fleeing the scene, and based on a description of the suspect and the vehicle, arrested the driver, Brackett said. A handgun was found in the vehicle, he said.

"The victims reported that Smith is known to them," Brackett stated in a news release. "Smith and the victims had been involved in an argument prior to (the shooting)."

Police ask that anyone with information regarding this incident call Detective Christine Powell at the Menlo Park Police Department Investigations Unit at 650-330-6300.
