Armed and Dangerous Shooting Suspect Arrested

A suspect in a Chula Vista shooting -- considered armed and dangerous -- has been taken into custody, Chula Vista police reported on Monday afternoon.

Alejandro Gutierrez, 38, was arrested at Knights Inn Hotel, 230 Via de San Ysidro, in San Ysidro early Monday afternoon. He is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and other felony crimes.

Gutierrez had evaded police since April 2, when police say he was involved in an attempted homicide in Chula Vista.

He was later spotted on Thursday evening by U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Team members in the area of Second Avenue and Palomar in Chula Vista. When they tried to stop him, he ran away, officials said.
