CHP Investigating Highway 4 Shooting at Hillcrest

by ECT

On Saturday afternoon around 4:30 pm, westbound Highway 4 at Hillcrest was shut down after CHP received a report of a vehicle that had been shot at on the Highway 4 on-ramp at Hillcrest in the City of Antioch.

According to preliminary information, the victim had gotten into an argument at Safeway on Deer Valley where upon leaving the store, the victim and passenger of the vehicle was reportedly followed and shot at–with at least one confirmed gunshot into the vehicle.  The driver then drove to CHP in Martinez where a report was taken. It was also stated the gunshot nearly hit the passenger in the vehicle.

CHP then responded to the reported area of the shooting where they shut down the freeway and were looking for evidence from the incident.

Vehicles headed westbound were forced to get off at Hillcrest at BART and get back on at the Lone Tree Way entrance.

CHP has not yet released any information about the incident. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene to assist with blocking traffic. No suspect information or suspect vehicle was released on scene.

By 5:00 pm, the freeway was re-opened.

Yea because it was targeted. If it was at a school, church, bar, or concert then put your chips on white.

If the two were arguing at SAFEWAY, then there is video of that incident and I hope the cops are smart enough to look at that video. I’m sure the outside cameras have recorded which cars was following which as they exited the parking lot.

The victim was interviewed on KRON4 news. Victim statements are so full of shit. They act like they didn’t do anything to provoke being shot at. All bullshit. Nobody is going to shoot at someone for no effin reason. Act like a victim now that you got shot at. Should’ve just shut your mouth at Safeway in the first place instead of acting like a badass tough guy. Now victim is all scared like a bitch saying if it was a hollow tip bullet and a few more inches this way then I would’ve got shot in the head. Blah blah blah. Black on black crime or whatever race these people are now you want the police to help you when you don’t give a crap about police. Go figure dumb ass people. That’s what they get for acting stupid. Bet you victim will still act like that and will get shot at again. Sorry ass bitch.

Victim also says in his KRON4 interview…” I don’t even know what your problem is man”, referring to the suspect. Actually yes you do MF! You know exactly why this dude is following you! It’s probably over a parking spot or dude cut in line in front of you at Safeway or dude had 11 items in the 10 items or less line and you open your mouth when you should’ve just shut up in the first place. Some dumb bullshit like that I’m sure. Now you got the police shutting down the dam freeway and effin shit up for everyone else because you want to play tough guy but you’re a bitch. Made me late dropping off family at the SFO airport.
Trust me, the victim is not a victim he’s a sorry ass tough bitch! You probably don’t like the police but now you calling them. Eff off bruh go figure it out yourself.

This is very normal in Antioch California . Police can’t do anything because there is crime everywhere here . And police won’t care till someone dead even someone die police still can’t do anything . Good luck living in Antioch ca all section 8 and they wondering Why no one wants to live by them ! Lol

On behalf of every decent human being everywhere including the city of Antioch, CA. Please stop talking, your ignorance is offensive and embarrassing.
There’s nothing wrong with being on section 8 if you need help with paying rent. Not everyone on section 8 is taking advantage of or defrauding the system.
Antioch, CA. may have it’s share of crime but so does every other city including the city you live in.
I’ll leave you with this thought.
“It better to stay quiet and let everyone think you are ignorant then to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.

Jay, first .. no one is “talking” … we are POSTING our thoughts which we have every right to do. Second, SECTION 8: The renter pays 30% of his income to the landlord and WE, THE TAXPAYERS pay the rest of the rent. THEREFORE, we are paying the landlords MORTGAGE PAYMENTS!! Not the landlord!! Get it?

I wish someone would pay MY monthly mortgage!

RealityCheck Aug 25, 2019 - 9:52 pm

Vito, if you are willing to allow a section 8 family join you in your family home I am sure they could help towards your monthly mortgage.

Roland Aug 25, 2019 - 8:36 pm

Hey Jay! If you need help with paying rent, maybe you’re living in the wrong area! You should live where you can afford to live!

Richard Aug 25, 2019 - 10:41 pm

The landlord is the one who is defrauding the system. He has the taxpayer footing the bill for his mortgage! Whichever idiot lawmaker came up with the stupid SECTION 8 concept, should be tried, convicted and imprisoned!

Well said

They have invaded! Aug 25, 2019 - 5:13 pm

Antioch is a shit hole ! It has become a shit hole because of the migration if Section 8, ghetto dwellers from Richmond, Oakland and other cesspools . So save all your bull shit fantasy nonsense!! It is what it is.

Me Aug 25, 2019 - 11:06 pm

The section 8 renter pays 30% of what income? 30% of $0 = $0
Taxpayers lives matter!

Since 2014 30% of Oakland residents have been out priced of the rental market forcing them to leave. Where did all of these upstanding citizens of Oakland got to?? Surrounding areas. Maybe Antioch landlords should take note of Oakland’s plan to clean up their city.
