A second victim (an adult male) was also on-scene suffering from a gunshot wound. This second victim was transported to a local area hospital where he is currently being treated for his injuries. A short time later, the male suspect in this case was taken into custody without incident in front of the Antioch Police Department. This case is currently being investigated by the Antioch Police Department Investigations Bureau.
The victim in this case has been identified as Antioch resident, 27-year-old Cynthia Flores-Crose.
