A judge set bail at $250,000 Tuesday, Sept. 23, for a 38-year-old Marysville man suspected in a drive-by shooting.

Gordon M. Najera was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault with a firearm and drive-by shooting.

Deputies had been searching for him for more than a week. He turned himself in Monday.

Detectives believe the home facing Del Campo Drive east of Everett was targeted because the grandmother, 59, was involved in a custody issue involving her daughter and Najera.

Najera allegedly fired five shots at the house with the grandmother and her son, 35, inside in late August.

Najera’s cell phone records show he was about 1 1/2 miles from the grandmother’s home as deputies were driving there to respond to the shots-fired call, court records say.
