On October 13, 2020, San Leandro Police Detectives, along with the assistance from officers with the Fremont Police Department, arrested 18-year-old Colby Demarea Berry for his involvement in a shooting that occurred on September 31, 2020, in the 200 block of Macarthur Boulevard.

On September 30th, Berry went to a local barbershop to get a haircut. It’s believed while Barry, who is a member of “Case Gang,” was getting his haircut, he recognized another individual inside the barbershop as being associated to his rival gang – “ENT.” When Barry was finished, he walked outside the barbershop where he waited for the unknown individual to exit. Once the individual and his associate walked outside and got into a vehicle, Barry produced a semi-automatic handgun with a high capacity drum magazine and fired four rounds into the vehicle. After firing the rounds, Barry fled the scene. No one was struck or injured by the gunfire.

Detectives immediately began looking into the shooting and gathered evidence that ultimately identified Barry as the shooter. At the time of his arrest on October 13th, Barry had a semi-automatic handgun with a high capacity drum magazine in his possession.

“This arrest was made possible thanks to the dedicated, diligent, and focused work by detectives. We also would like to send a “thank you” to the Fremont Police Department who assisted us by apprehending Barry,” said Lt. Ted Henderson.

On October 15, 2020, the case against Barry was presented to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Barry was formally charged with shooting into an occupied motor vehicle and other firearm violations.

Anyone with additional information about this shooting is urged to contact the San Leandro Police Department at (510) 577-2740.
