Update: Antioch Police Make Arrest After Fatal Shooting

by ECT

On May 31, at approximately 5:46 PM, Antioch police officers responded to the 2100 block of Lemontree Way for the report of gunshots.

Once at the scene, officers located evidence of a shooting. A shooting victim fled from the scene in a vehicle and collided with several uninvolved occupied vehicles as he fled.

The victim (a black adult male) was contacted a short distance away on “L” Street near the HWY 4 overpass. The victim was transported to a local area hospital where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

During the investigation, a suspect (a Hispanic adult male) was identified and subsequently located at a residence in the 2100 block of Lemontree Way. Initially, the suspect refused to cooperate with police and exit the residence.

After a short stand-off the suspect exited and was peacefully taken into custody.

According to Sergeant John Fortner, police are still investigating and did not identify the suspect in custody. No further information was released.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925)778-2441. You may also text-a-tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using the key word ANTIOCH.

Below is a portion of the CHP Log which shut down the Contra Loma Off-Ramp due to police activity on L Street.

Shankey Good AKA David Pearson Jun 3, 2017 - 8:52 pm

The reporting of this shooting had much more detail than for the April 2, 2017 shooting of David Dewey Whitfield-Pearson, a 23 year old Black male of Antioch Ca. David was shoot by a White male at 8:45 pm, four times as they sped away in a gray four door.

David’s death death for most have been a joke, as 7 On-You-Side and Fox’s News refuse to cover a crime wherein a white male is sought-after for killing a young Black male in Contra Costa County as that is unheard of in Antioch/Pittsburg political climate

Not good.
