Concord: Two Arrested After Argument Over Bicycle Led to Fatal Shooting

by ECT

Concord, CA – On February 10th, 2019, at approximately 1:45 am, Concord Police Officers were called to the area of Clayton Rd and Detroit Ave on a report of a man lying on the sidewalk and with an apparent gunshot wound.

The victim, 27 year old Carlos Nunez of Concord, was declared deceased at the scene. Detectives of the Concord Police Department conducted an investigation and located surveillance camera footage from a nearby apartment complex camera that showed the suspects a block from the crime scene prior to the murder.

The investigation revealed that the victim contacted a group of persons and asked them if anyone wanted to purchase his bicycle. Two members of the group claimed that the bicycle was stolen and belonged to them. When the suspect left the area, he was followed by the two suspects who shot and killed him when he got to Clayton Rd.

The suspects then stole the bicycle and other personal property from the victim.

The suspects were identified by detectives and warrants were issued for their arrest. On February 22nd, Jose Hernandez-Barajas, 21 years old, and Luis Angel Mendoza, 19 years old, were arrested for Nunez’s murder. Both are residents of Concord.

The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office has charged both with Murder, Robbery, and Personal Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Crime. They are currently both incarcerated in the Contra Costa County Jail

A murder over a bike? That was worth it.

Really? What a waste of life. Bikes are a dime a dozen at Marsh Creek. Are these illegals with no respect for life ?

Curious what idiot would go that far.

These Bozos have been in trouble for a long time. Not anymore.

Anyone Hispanic with a “Z” in their last name, is unfortunately cursed with a very strong conquistador/ machismo spirit. It’s like a form of autism and causes irrational outbursts of emotion that can lead to crimes such as these.

Concord PD issued a correction on the spelling.

Any Hispanic who might be an illegal alien or a gang member will murder over anything.

Feel better now? Feel empowered that u let everyone know you’re a prejudiced bigot? Disgusting as murdering someone over a bike.

The truth hurts. If you murder someone over a bike, you probably are in a gang or here illegally.

Feel better now with your soft on crime, liberal attitude?

Nick, plenty of pink-bellied simps like yourself kill over women every day too; yes, including US citizens. Which is statistically more likely to happen than for an illegal to kill a US citizen. Furthermore, depending on the man, it’s up to debate whether a particular bike is of more value than a particular woman.

If you think a bike is worth more than a woman, keeping in mind you’re a woman, you have serious issues.

As far as illegals killing a US citizen, they’re probably all here illegally. Been down Detroit Ave. in Concord lately?

Typical spineless enabler who can’t handle reality.

No kidding, Mel! You’re right-on-the-money!
