Update: Discovery Bay Man Killed in Martinez Officer Involved Shooting

by ECT

The Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office is investigating a Wednesday morning officer-involved shooting in the unit (first) block of Adelaide Drive at Pacheco Blvd in Martinez.

The incident occurred around 9:30 am where an officer opened fire and shot the “suspect” who was later declared dead at the scene.

Officers have closed adjacent roadways to aid in their investigation of the incident.

The sheriffs officer will be releasing details later in the day and stated that the county protocol for fatal officer-involved incident has been invoked.

2:45 pm UPDATE

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff said a 41-year-old Discovery Bay man who was a felon in possession of a firearm shot at a deputy sheriff before the deputy returned fire. The suspect was a known gang-member and had a criminal record. He also had a warrant for his arrest.

Official release from the Sheriffs Office:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office are currently investigating an officer involved shooting per the county’s law enforcement involved fatal incident protocol.

This morning at about 9:03, two Deputy Sheriffs handled a detail on Adelaide Drive in Pacheco. They cleared the call at about 9:31. As one of the Deputies left the area, he noticed a person who had an outstanding warrant on foot in the area of Adelaide Drive and Pacheco Boulevard. The Deputy went to contact him. The person kept reaching into his waistband and ran away leading to a foot pursuit by the Deputy. The Deputy attempted to physically control the person, giving numerous verbal commands to show his hands. A struggle ensued with the suspect pulling out a firearm from his waistband. He fired one shot toward the Deputy’s head.

The Deputy returned fire, shooting the suspect.

The Fire Department and an ambulance responded to the location. The male suspect was later pronounced deceased at the scene.

The 41-year-old white male from Discovery Bay is not being identified at this time. The suspect had a no bail, warrant for evading and resisting arrest from another county. The suspect also had extensive prior contacts with law enforcement that include drug possession, multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of dangerous weapons, felon in possession of a firearm, stolen vehicle possession, obstruction, possession of burglary tools and parole violation. He was also an active member of several gangs in Contra Costa. The Deputy was unhurt.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information on this incident is asked to contact the Office of the Sheriff Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600. For any tips, please email: [email protected] or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

“he may have had a passed but he is human”

May want to go back to school…if you ever went. (past)

We all make mistakes? Yep. Some of us speed from time-to-time. Others forget to do their homework. Still others forget to take out the garbage. VERY, VERY few people shoot at a police officer while running from arrest warrants. If that seems common to you–get some new friends. You call people MF for being judgmental. Let that sink in…

Vigilant Dec 7, 2018 - 5:33 pm

You shoot at an officer you get what you deserve ??

Simonpure Dec 5, 2018 - 4:01 pm

Hats off to the Sheriffs department. Great job!!!

Sorcerer Dec 5, 2018 - 11:28 pm

I second that, Simon!

SP Dec 5, 2018 - 4:46 pm

I concur. Great job Sheriffs Office. I’m glad the Deputy was unhurt and happier the sh@tbag is 6 feet under. He will never hurt another person again!!!

The scumbag shouldn’t have shot at the officer …

CK: Very, very few people think like you (as evidenced by this blog), so either we are all wrong or you need a little growth. I am being as kind as I can because I feel a little sorry for you. Perhaps going back and getting that G.E.D.?

Ck Dec 10, 2018 - 6:18 am

You’re the one that needs growth. You’re just another retard that believes everything the media broadcasts and everything the police tell you to be truth. You’re just a retarded lemming marching along with all the rest of them and you’re exactly right very few people think like me. Why? Because I don’t believe everything I’m told and I’m not a fucking sheep? The only one that needs the g.e.d. Is you,you retarded Fuck. Get your facts straight and know what you’re talking about before you decide to spout a bunch of diarrhea out of your mouth.

Jack Hunter Dec 5, 2018 - 6:22 pm

You are an idiot you don’t know the man that died how the fuck you going to talk shit like that you’re the fucking shit bag

A drug dealer from Discovery Bay? The cleanest city in California? Oh my!

Paragon Dec 5, 2018 - 11:19 pm

I thought the entire reason Discovery Bay was developed was for people to get away from the scumbags living in other areas! How did the scum wind up living in Discovery Bay? Who brought them there! Good thing that another loser is gone off the face of the earth and not breathing the air we breathe.

coco ryda Dec 5, 2018 - 8:53 pm

sp f@ck u this guy had a family how dare you say something so foul. the only s@itbag I see here is you.

Boo hoo all you losers!! He got what he deserved! Dec 5, 2018 - 9:59 pm

This piece of garbage shot at a police officer. He could have complied but he chose not to. He got what he deserved.
Just glad the officers involved are ok.

Dawn Marie Dec 5, 2018 - 11:27 pm

What’s with all the foul language?

Simonpure Dec 6, 2018 - 6:55 am

They are just children Dawn…that’s how they roll.

J. Sala Dec 5, 2018 - 11:45 pm

Let’s put this in prospective folks, regardless who the dead guy is. If you have a family, don’t go running around with guns, and shoot at the Police. If you do dirt; you will eventually get covered by dirt. Most of you here defending a criminal on this news feed, probably already knew this day would one day come. Every Thug, one day has his day in court or meets his demise on the street, either by Police or some other violent encounter with another Thug. Yes Thugs have family, friends, and loved ones as well. However deep down you all know whats up. Either “Lay Down or Get Down”. However those choices can cost you your life, as It did today. I admit it, it’s fun too run wild; until you catch a few hot ones. Life is too short, so make your life choices count. It’s 2018 The Police and Prison/CDC are not going any where.

Most every civilians care not too deal, with all the thuggery out there in our society today. So yes they will comment, and cheer a win so to speak. The law biding civilian, puts up with all the B.S. and crime daily, let them speak!

Black Bart Dec 6, 2018 - 12:35 am

What a rap sheet! Wow! Sweet Jesus! (1) drug possession, (2) multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, (3) possession of dangerous weapons, (4) felon in possession of a firearm, (5) stolen vehicle possession, (6) obstruction, (7) possession of burglary tools. (8) parole violation. And this is all that is “included.” He’s 41 and STILL in a gang? If he lived, would he be still in a gang at age 70?

Cortney Tompson Dec 6, 2018 - 7:43 am

He deserved it. I hope it hurt.

Sabrina Kary Dec 6, 2018 - 7:51 am

Yeah, SURE he shot at the cop… That’s what you liars ALWAYS SAY. Bunch of BULLSHIT! Knowing damn well they shot at him in the back while he was running away, before they knew anything about him. So obvious who the scumbags are, even having the nerve to talk trash about him here on facebook. As if being a victim murdered by the PD isn’t enough, they gotta smut him up too just to cover their shit. Sickening. You mf’s are going straight to hell. RIP Paul…

Simonpure Dec 7, 2018 - 8:03 am

FYI…this isn’t Facebook.

Sabrina Kary Dec 6, 2018 - 7:57 am

SURE THING, LIARS… WE REALLY TRUST THE POLICE OUT THERE. Gimme a break! Show us the body cam footage!! Gee, let me guess… it’s unavailable, right? F-ing LIARS!

Nick Dec 6, 2018 - 12:16 pm

He’s dead. Deal with it.

Antidote For Dopes Dec 6, 2018 - 7:40 pm

We pretty much know who, unlike the employed and family-oriented folks in the East Bay, think the cops are the enemy. You sound like one of them; driving around wired on crank and scheming on your next score. If you spent on an education what you spent on tattoos you would be in the mainstream and gainfully employed. Yes, I can see you through my computer, and I could go on, but politeness prevents me from coloring the total picture. Go back to school.

Sabrina Kary Dec 6, 2018 - 8:02 am

I’m willing to bet the body cam footage shows them shooting him in the back while he was running away, cuz they are too lazy to chase him. Struggle my ass… Go ahead and talk shit about me, I don’t give a rat’s ass! Call me all the names you want, at least I’m not a dirty f-ing cop!

Thankful Citizen Dec 6, 2018 - 8:50 pm

Oh Sabrina!!
He got what he deserved!
41 year old gang member!!! Lol
But you and your pals claim he was getting his shit together!!?? Thats hilarious!!
Crawl back in your hole
Good guys win!!

True, you’re not. What you ARE is evident: sticking your neck out to support a Nazi Low Rider and White Supremacist. Go smoke some white.

Melanie Dec 7, 2018 - 8:44 am

No, Sabrina. You’re just white trash.

Hahaha. This piece of shit got what he should have gotten a long time ago….a bullet through the head…good job to the cop who ended this worthless losers pitifull life. We dont need these kinds of criminals on our streets

Liz Tapia Dec 17, 2018 - 2:38 pm

How disgusting and disturbing that there is people out there that applaud and even enjoy the fact that a man, who was someone’s son, brother and friend, is dead. Shame on you to preach what upstanding citizens you are but are so quick to callously disregard a person’s life. Too bad they didn’t teach empathy or compassion in those classes you dickheads proclaim others need. If this is higher learning and examples of upstanding citizenship we really are fucked. Most of you are all just cowards who can only spit your hateful venom anonymously. Get a life or maybe try saving one.

Nick Dec 17, 2018 - 8:36 pm

He has nobody to blame but himself. Society has no empathy for low-life gang members with warrants out for their arrest that shoot at cops. He saved the taxpayers money. We pay a disproportionate amount of taxes, and as a taxpayer – oh, well. Cry me a river.
