A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of homicide in the fatal freeway shooting of UC Berkeley basketball star Gene Ransom, authorities said.

On Friday night, California Highway Patrol officers in Oakland responded to a vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 880 and found the victim, later identified as Ransom, suffering from a gunshot wound in his car, authorities said. He died at the scene. On Saturday morning, Garcia was taken into custody without incident. He was booked into the Alameda County Jail on suspicion of homicide, according to CHP.

UC Berkeley responded with this statement: “We are shocked to hear the reports that Cal Athletics Hall of Famer Gene Ransom has been identified as a victim in a deadly freeway shooting. Our thoughts are with Gene’s family and friends for this tragic loss. Gene was one of the greatest players in our men’s basketball program’s history, and he will be greatly missed.”
