Antioch Store Clerk Shot, Killed During Botched Robbery Saturday

SHARE

From the Antioch police department:

On 11/26/22, at approximately 02:05 AM, the Antioch Police Department Dispatch Center received an emergency call from 2701 Contra Loma Boulevard. The call was from an employee at the Extra Mile convenience store. Several Antioch police officers responded to the scene and found a male down on the floor, just inside the store, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Officers began to administer first-aid and called for Fire Department and AMR paramedics to respond.

Despite the live-saving efforts of first responders, the victim succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Officers at the scene were able to determine that the victim was an employee-clerk at the service station, and was held-up at gunpoint during what appears to be a “botched robbery.” The suspect(s) fled on-foot from the scene and have not been located.

Antioch Police Department’s Investigations Bureau, consisting of Crime Scene Investigators and detectives with the Violent Crimes and Special Operations Units, responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.

Currently, detectives are interviewing witnesses in the area and are working to identify all the parties involved to include suspects or persons-of-interest. The investigation is still active, and evidence is being collected.

  1. All for what, under a $100-$200 in cash and probably some e-cigs? So sad this man lost his life for something so insignificant.

  2. Read ktvu for the latest. They are not charging the robber that shot him. They said robber shot back in self defense.
    Wow.
