Gunfire shattered the pre-dawn quiet at an Antioch neighborhood park today, leaving a 25-year-old man fighting for his life after he was found shot at the north end of Country Manor Park and rushed to a local hospital, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.
According to KRON4, officers were dispatched around 2:25 AM to the 2600 block of Asilomar Drive after reports of gunshots and someone yelling for help. Police secured the scene, searched for evidence and witnesses, and then first responders transported the man to the hospital. No arrests had been reported as of this morning.
Scene And Investigation
The Antioch Police Department locked down the area and detectives canvassed the park while crime-scene personnel combed through it for evidence, according to recent releases from the department. The city has already been grappling with multiple serious shootings this year, including a deadly incident on Sycamore Drive in February, detailed by the Antioch Police Department, and a January case in which an 11-year-old girl was hit by a stray bullet, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Police Ask For Witnesses
Investigators have not released any information about potential suspects and are asking anyone who witnessed the shooting or has video from the area to contact the Antioch Police Department, according to KRON4. Police say even small details or cellphone footage could help move the case forward, and they expect to release further updates as more information becomes available.
