The two suspects in the shooting of a Half Moon Bay man Sunday were arrested Monday night. Brandon Michael Sargentini, 29, of San Jose, and Samantha Nicole Warner, 19,  of San Leandro, were arrested in San Leandro after their car was spotted in the parking lot of a Hayward motel.

The suspects were turned over to the Half Moon Bay police, and admitted their involvement in the shooting. A handgun was recovered from the hotel room.

Following a countywide alert, a San Mateo police officer recognized the suspects as having been in a car he had stopped just two hours before the shooting. A witness to the shooting confirmed the identity of the suspect from a photograph of the car’s male passenger.
