An 18-year-old male was found shot on the 1100 block of Macaulay Street in Antioch on June 3, according to a press release from the Antioch Police Department. At about 6:00 PM, officers arrived to find Henry Granado II suffering from a gunshot wound near the sidewalk. First aid was administered before Granado was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Hailing from Pittsburg, the incident has left the young man's community reeling from the sudden loss.
The Antioch Police Department, still probing into the case, has given limited details as detectives and Crime Scene Investigators from their Investigations Bureau have taken charge.
