In a statement, sheriff’s office spokesperson Jimmy Lee said deputies were called for reports of a shooting in the 3200 block of Dutch Slough Road about 8:50 p.m. They found a man down in the street when they arrived, and he had a gunshot wound, Lee said.
Deputies tried to revive him, but authorities later pronounced him dead at the scene.
The homicide was the second one in eastern Contra Costa County in less than a week. A 20-year-old Antioch woman died in a shooting in that city last Thursday. Authorites have yet to identify her publicly.
The sheriff’s office is looking for information and urged anyone who may know something to contact them. People can leave anonymous tips by going to tips@so.cccounty.us or by calling 866-846-3592. Information also can be left by contacting 925-313-2600.
