On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, at about 7:13pm, Antioch Police Department patrol officers were dispatched to the canal between Lemontree and Manzanita Way for a 43-year-old man down on the ground.
The male had no pulse and was not breathing. Officers attempted life saving measures, but the victim was ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Antioch Police investigations bureau responded and took over this investigation. It was determined the victim and 30-year-old male suspect were involved in an argument and during the altercation the suspect struck the victim in the head and rendered him unconscious.
The suspect left the area and did not seek medical attention for the victim.
The victim was discovered about 20 minutes after the assault and the police and medical were called, but the victim had already died. The suspect was arrested for murder and booked into the County Jail in Martinez with bail set at $1,000,000.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!
I spoke with my great-grandmother who said that these things stated happening after the “hood” people started moving here for some reason. This used to be a wonderful city. Now, with more “hood” people being elected to the city council, the place is going to hell-in-a-hand-basket. What a shame!
By ” hood” I assume you mean black. Nice couching of your true feelings. Hooray, Antioch
You can thank Federal Glover for that…
both people involved were white.
Why does it have to be assumed hood people means black people. One said that damn stop trying to create conflick. I’m sure she means ghetto and crime commiting type of people. Damn
