Police Identify Woman Accused Of Attempted Murder

ALAMEDA, CA — Alameda Police have identified the woman they accuse of attempted murder, carjacking, and robbery in a case that happened on Oct. 22. Amelia Minjarez, 27, was arrested in Oakland following the crime spree. Last week, police appealed for video from residents and businesses to help build a case for the District Attorney's Office.

On Oct. 22, a police department employee was flagged down at 3:15 p.m. near the intersection of Grand Street and Clement Avenue by a man suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim told officers that he had been robbed and carjacked before being shot while trying to run away. The suspect was last seen driving eastbound on Clement Avenue in a 2001 red Honda Accord Coupe with damage to the right front bumper.

Oakland Police stopped the stolen car, and arrested Minjarez, the only occupant of the vehicle.

Alameda Police wrote on social media, "We want to extend a sincere thanks to the Oakland Police Department and our observant community members for their assistance in this case. The identification of Ms. Minjarez is a direct result of teamwork among law enforcement agencies and the community we serve."
