On December 29 just after 8 p.m., Antioch police responded to a report of a man shot at1504 Sycamore Drive. Police found Jason Alexander Reddic, 28, in front of the four-plex with at least one gunshot wound. At that time, Reddic was responsive but severely injured. Life-saving measures were taken and he was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police are currently interviewing several potential witnesses. At this time no arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified. Anyone with information regarding this investigation should contact Det. James Stenger at (925) 779-6894.

This was Antioch’s 15th homicide of the year and sixth in what has turned out to be a bloody December. The city has recently laid off six police officers from an already diminished force, with additional layoffs possible.
