On Thursday, August 23, 2018, at about 11:41 PM, Bay Station Deputy Sheriffs in Rodeo noticed two individuals exit a vehicle and discard an unknown item in a suspicious manner at the Rodeo Post Office at 499 Parker Avenue.
The Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic enforcement stop of the vehicle. The vehicle did not yield and led Deputies on a pursuit southbound on San Pablo Avenue.
The suspect vehicle went through the red signal light at San Pablo Avenue and Richmond Parkway where it collided with the side of a truck. The passenger was able to exit the vehicle on his own. The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. They are not being identified at this time.
The item discarded by the two at the Post Office was later found to be a firearm.
The officer-involved fatal incident protocol was invoked. This incident is being investigated by the Richmond Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Contra Costa DA’s Office, and the Office of the Sheriff.
The CHP has issued a traffic alert for the closure of the intersection of San Pablo Avenue and Richmond Parkway because of the investigation.

AWESOME WORK!! One less low life in public now!!!
I totally agree.
The officer was not involved in this fatal incident. Why was the protocol even applied? The POS who was trying to get away did it to himself. Good riddance!
Absolutely! The police did not do him in. He did himself in … and indeed, good riddance!
You’re next – hopefully.
Hey Nick! Grow up! Put down the bong, already!
