At roughly 1:30 am Sunday morning, a 31-year-old female was shot to death in a parking lot and two other male victims were wounded outside Antioch’s Paradise Skate Roller Rink as Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office investigators were still investigating the shooting as of 8:45 am. The suspect is still at large and no description has been released at this time.
The incident appears to have started over an argument inside the roller rink where a man flashed a gun and quickly put it away. The argument then continued into the parking lot where multiple shots were fired.
The identity of the victim who died and two injured has not been released at this time while the sheriff’s office is still holding the cars in the parking lot as they continue to investigate.
If anyone has any information about the incident, please contact the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.
Note:
Since this incident occurred at the Fairgrounds, which is state property, its the Sheriffs jurisdiction and not Antioch PD.

sick and tired of the shootings in Antioch.
Greedy government dependant politicians brought this to Antioch.
Nice is this Antioch or Oakland?. Ridiculous…..
It’s. California and it’s murders every where
Wow
Wow….scary….
Yes so glad I got my family out of that shit hole. You can thank politician federal glover for bring sec 8 to antioch.
Are you serious? You think Glover is responsible for Sec 8? All cities have sec. 8.
Maybe you better learn about your government’
go back really far n do your home work on glover, really far….
I’m sure section 8 doesn’t exist in Clayton ……
hello eln…you better do some research, because NOT all cities have sec 8
just wait till bart comes to antioch…
I pray you find the person or persons at large
WOW ! U R absolutely right about the whole bart thing. People think Antioch is getting worse everyday (& it is!) But I bet the crime rate will double once bart comes to Antioch.
So sad, It ain’t safe to go nowhere these days Rip
You can’t blame section 8 on killings people always got something negative to say
Ya, cuz all them hard working up standing citizens gots time to be killing for fun. yep, that’s how we roll on our days off. Not paying bills or grocery shopping. Nope we Definatly get out our 4 doors on 15s and shoot ppl. Ya cuz we have time for that after working 40 plus hours a week to own houses in the town.
🙂
not everyone on section 8 is unemployed. If I would have gotten accepted through the lottery I would qualify and I work for the state do your homework.
Section 8 is a Federal Program.
Did you know you can report section 8 violations online? Sure, it is a federal program, but the people on Section 8 are not supposed to be involved in drug activity, and they are supposed to be keeping their property up to city standards. http://www.hud.gov/complaints/index.cfm
Thank you. My mom was on sec.8, because she was on ss and her check war $400.00, sec 8 paid PART of her rent, she was disabled and too old to work.
The big problem in CA is, you all keep voting for liberal politicians over and over again that are soft on crime. Vote for politicians that are hard on crime and will actually do something about it. I do, it is very easy, at the next election, just move your pen over to the next box. Don’t keep making the same mistake over and over. As to the section 8/welfare problem, if CA required blood draw (not urine, since that can be defeated) drug testing for all applicants, the criminals would be kept out of the system. The liberal politicians protect the criminals and keep them out of jail and on the streets, where they continue to commit more crimes.
Kenji, I don’t think they are allowed to finger print S/8 any more. Antioch worked hard to get finger printing done.
Glover is in a city that has its own housing program and few people are accepted. It was done eons ago.
We need to change our CA laws. Lots of other states are requiring drug testing for welfare benefits, and even more are working to make it a law. At our last election, we had a candidate running for governor that pledged to fight welfare fraud in CA, yet you all voted for a proven loser who does nothing but promote welfare and is soft on crime. Vote smarter at the next election!!
Its not the section 8..its the parents an how u raise ur kids..U cant blame the system.All these young black kids coming frin Oakland,Richmond,Frisco an most of them are drop outs an come to Antioch to make a name for them self. Police need to step it up like back in the eary 90’s.So lets blame the parents that raise them kids. .there the problems.
