UPDATE from Concord PD: Wednesday, 10:30am
Last night, around 10:20 pm, Concord Police Department officers were dispatched to John Muir Concord Medical Center when three males arrived with gunshot wounds after being driven there by friends. CPD determined that a shooting had just occurred in the municipal parking garage on Salvio Street.
A suspect vehicle was quickly identified and the information shared with other law enforcement partners. Deputies from the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office located the suspect vehicle driving in Bay Point where they conducted a traffic stop and detained the occupants.
From that stop, two occupants were detained and arrested. Detectives from the Investigations Division followed up on leads throughout the night and the next day.
On Wednesday, at about 6:30 PM, a third suspect was arrested in relation to the shooting. During the arrest and subsequent search, evidence related to the shooting was found. Ultimately, the Contra Costa County, District Attorney’s Office filed charges related to the shooting.
The following two men were charged with the shooting: Justino Lopez-Perez (31year old, resident of Bay Point) was charged with 664/187 PC- Attempted murder, 182(a)(1) PC- Conspiracy, 26100(c) PC- Discharge a firearm from a vehicle, 245(b) PC-Assault with a firearm, and use of a firearm enhancements.

ITWWOT
Firestone 11R
Apparently it was last night, at least…
Anywhere else that would qualify as a mass shooting. In Concord it’s just another Tuesday night.
Don’t be absurd.
I understand that Firestone 11R is a Los Angeles Police Department call sign. What is ITWWOT an abbreviation for?
We’ll let him explain…
First, never would I be associated with the blue suitors of LAPD. That is a call sign for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
ITWWOT = It’s The Wild West Out There.
West Hollywood 91R
Thanks for the alert. Almost walked into that one.
You bet!
I have parked in that very structure when paying a visit to my barber. While I have not experienced any adverse encounters myself, I have personally observed people loitering in the stairwells, seemingly unkempt and engaging what appeared to be illicit drug use. Just providing my personal observations at this location.
Nice work by Hospital and Concord PD for quickly working with the victims and getting the details out on the shooters that led to the arrest.
“the New Muni parking garage in downtown Concord”?? I got zero from the Google.
Is this different from the one near Todos Santos?
It’s the Salvio Street Garage, known to locals as the New Muni.
