A 22-year-old South Lake Tahoe man is behind bars on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and shooting into an inhabited vehicle.

Bail for Angelo Anderson has been set at $100,000. More charges are possible.

The incident started Feb. 19 at 4:42pm on Fawn Way one block south of Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe.

Officers said when Dennis McQuitty, 57, of South Lake Tahoe was leaving a friend’s home Anderson approached him. The two used to work together. Anderson allegedly began making inflammatory remarks toward the victim. McQuitty closed his door to avoid a conflict and started to drive away.

Several witnesses then reported to police that they saw Anderson raise a handgun and fire approximately three rounds at McQuitty’s truck as he drove on Fawn Avenue. At least one bullet struck the truck. Anderson then went back into his residence, a room at the A&A Lake Tahoe Inn with his girlfriend, Leslie Monroy.

She was detained, but later released without charges. Anderson was arrested. Officers recovered the firearm used by Anderson.

Witnesses should call Detective Jeff Roberson at (530) 542.6100 or Secret Witness at (530) 541.6800.
