Updated: Man Bound and Beaten Attempting to Steal Marijuana in Knightsen

by ECT

At around 8:00 pm Saturday, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff responded to a report of a possible shooting in the area of Holland Tract Road and Delta Road in Knightsen.

While responding, sheriff deputies were advised that a subject was reportedly tied to a tree after having been shot in the head. There was also possibly multiple suspects in a field that had fled the area.

Upon arrival, sheriffs deputies could hear the victim calling for help, but he was unable to move because he was tired up and was injured. There was also a possible second victim in the field nearby who was also injured.

By 9:12 pm, the subject told law enforcement that had been shot in the head. Due to the unknowns in the area with the responsibles possibly still in the field, a BEARCAT (an armored police rescue vehicle) vehicle was requested to the incident to assist law enforcement with recovering the two victims.

By 9:53 pm, the Sheriffs Office reported they had made contact with the victim and were transporting him to medical who was standing by as he was suffering from a head wound, along with lacerations to the neck, ear and arms.

Just after 10:00 pm, law enforcement stated they located a rifle at the scene and were making attempts to reach a second victim.

By 10:17 pm, law enforcement recovered the second victim who was being treated by AMR.

Confirmed agencies involved included the Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office, Oakley Police, CHP, East Contra Costa Fire, and AMR.

No other information was available and this is considered preliminary as of 10:30 pm Saturday

UPDATE – Monday, Oct 7 at 1:30 pm via Sheriffs Office

On Saturday, October 5, 2019, at about 7:33 PM, Deputy Sheriffs responded to a report of a possible shooting in the area of 7000 Holland Tract Road in Knightsen. Deputies searched the area but were not able to find any evidence of a shooting or any gunshot victims.

Approximately 30 minutes later, a person called to say he was hiding in the bushes in a field. He stated his friend was also in the area and may have been shot. Sheriff’s Office STARR helicopter later located the two who were apparently trying to steal marijuana when they were confronted by several unknown men.

An armored SWAT vehicle was used to rescue the two men. One of the them had been bound and severely beaten by the unknown suspect(s), while the second man suffered minor injuries. Both were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Neither of them suffered from a gun-shot wound.

Deputies searched for the suspects but were not able to locate them. The marijuana grow operation was illegal and has been eradicated.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600. For any tips, please email: [email protected] or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

Did you make this up? This reads like something out of a Tarantino film

children of the corn are back

Lola Saavedra Oct 6, 2019 - 8:31 pm

That little kid, Greta something, looked like she was in the cast of the film, “Children of the Corn.” Came across like someone who was a member of the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjungend), young Rhine Maiden Division. She was snarling, growling, spitting … totally possessed brainwashed twit.

Lola, hating on a teenage girl who has more bravery than your science-denying Trump? You’re lame. There’s actual Nazi supporters here in 2019 in the USA and you compare them to her? She may not be the knowledgeable person on climate science but at least she needs the advice of the scientific community consensus unlike Trump who has no grasp on it. He doesn’t even read the Bible but probably thinks it’s a science book too.

American Patriot Oct 8, 2019 - 11:34 am

Silly liberal , where exactly are these “Nazi Supporters” . And no one even said anything about Trump. Liberals are so quick to jump to conclusions smh.

Martin Oct 9, 2019 - 10:36 pm

That girl was BRAINWASHED! That’s child abuse in my book! She and other kids are being used! There are as many scientists who are not buying into this “climate change via humans” as there are for it. And those for it are in academia where they have to tow the “official party line” promoted by the leftist university of they don’t get any grants. That’s how the system works. I’m in academia and know the ropes.

Amy Comforti Oct 6, 2019 - 1:04 pm

Why don’t they air this on our local news Chanel?

oniwy Oct 7, 2019 - 2:28 pm

It’s just not fashionable enough!!!

Michele A Lane Oct 6, 2019 - 2:45 pm

This is beyond frightening. It is hard to believe something this horrible could happen in our community.

American Patriot Oct 8, 2019 - 11:35 am

Build the wall.

Lalaz Oct 6, 2019 - 10:31 pm

I was thinking that as well, or meth heads. Actually many terrifying scenerios come to mind. Maybe that’s why they arent releasing names. You can profe the crime or prejudge it. Can you imagine the 1st officer walking up on that dude. And he is like they are still out there. BAY Stations should run this.

Build The Wall

Harry Oct 7, 2019 - 11:29 pm

Didn’t you see the Senator who climbed the new portion of the wall in like 45 seconds? If you’re a real patriot, then you should be supporting impeachment. We don’t need a punk coward in the White House who bows down to foreign powers.

American Patriot Oct 8, 2019 - 11:29 am

Um no, I looked for it everywhere on Google, only thing that popped up was rockclimbers wanting to climb the wall. And you silly liberal, Trump is harder than any recent president we have had on other countries. Obama was the one bowing down, he was like a nerd getting his lunch money took.

Ed Duncan Oct 7, 2019 - 3:57 pm

Building the wall will only lock in all of them cause they are already hear they have taken over and are doing better living in stolen as numbers and dealing for the cratle hell they are buying up new homes I would give my right arm to be able to afford my own home in Cali but I’ve always worked hard and been a good legal citizen so I don’t have the credit or the funds hard working white folks are now the minority we are out gunned and out numbered. We allowed all this to happen right under our noses we have nobody to blame but ourselfs what comes around goes around maybe we will get back in top again one day ????

American Patriot Oct 8, 2019 - 11:24 am

Move out of Cali, then build a wall on the border of the third world countries of Mexico and California.

G.Bush Oct 8, 2019 - 2:09 pm

American Patriot sounds like his uncle & his daddy are the same man.

American Patriot Oct 9, 2019 - 3:01 pm

G Bush sounds like a cuck

Not a Crook Oct 9, 2019 - 7:15 am

Ed, why are you scared of becoming the minority? Are minorities treated unfairly in the USA or something?

And “American Patriot”- California has the #6 GDP in the world, ahead of many developed nations. Just stop being a racist and act like it’s 2019 already.

American Patriot Oct 9, 2019 - 3:06 pm

So, look at the crime, poverty, homeless, drug use, it doesn’t matter what the economy is. California has more homeless than every other state combined. Democrats and their policies are the reason for that.

Stone-Flowers Oct 9, 2019 - 10:22 pm

Ed Duncan, you can get a house in Cali for very little. You see, the ONLY “Cali” in the world is located in COLOMBIA! You could probably buy one for like $45,000 in a nice part of town.

Will Oct 8, 2019 - 11:56 am

The reason they have not printed their names is probably because they are white. If they were Black their names and pictures would be posted.

ECT Oct 8, 2019 - 3:04 pm

Wrong, they did not catch the suspects.

Wesside Oct 8, 2019 - 8:08 pm

All this assumptions you guys all sound racist….they shouldn’t be out stealing and will see if they ever find them..an will see what they are…If it would have been me I would have shot them but it was an illegal grow so only alternative is beat that ass

Ginger Gens Oct 9, 2019 - 10:25 pm

We all sound “racist?” Is that a problem?

Jason Wade Oct 9, 2019 - 10:38 pm

The ones stealing the dope are the guys who were shot and tied to the trees.

Tammy Oct 9, 2019 - 11:40 pm

Everything with these loser liberals is racist. They have completely worn the word out now it means nothing.

American Patriot Oct 13, 2019 - 12:18 pm

You wouldn’t have done nothing. The only reason something happened to them is because it was about 6 mexicans high off crystal ran up on them. You know damn well if it was just one or two mexicans nothing would’ve happened.

T’s mom Oct 8, 2019 - 10:17 pm

Please read David Kemper story on Facebook?? Please look into his story too? Mabye there’s a connection? Please check into this?

Wayne K Wilson Oct 10, 2019 - 11:11 am

It was said that legalizing grass would take all the violence away. I guess they were wrong.

RealAmericanPatriot Oct 10, 2019 - 1:48 pm

Nationwide legalization would have taken down the crop prices, so that there would be no reason to steal pot. It would have created a generation of relaxed people so that Trump would not stand a chance to win democratic elections…

American Patriot Oct 13, 2019 - 12:11 pm

Wrong, people will always turn to the black market for 2 reasons. Whole sale price and no ridiculous taxes. Take it from someone who actually smokes you silly cuck.

Len Oct 10, 2019 - 4:50 pm

Are both of these victims dead?
