On April 10 just before 2 p.m., Antioch police officers responded to a report of a drive-by shooting in the area of Sycamore Drive and Banyan Way.

As officers arrived on scene, they located the suspect vehicle and attempted to stop it.  A vehicle pursuit ensued with one of the suspects jumping out in the area of Lemontree Way. That suspect was caught by officers with a handgun. The suspect vehicle ultimately crashed into a small wall in front of a residence on Gloucester Court. The driver and rear passenger were then taken into custody after another brief foot pursuit. 

Evidence of the shooting was later located at 1600 Sycamore Drive. No victims were found, but a building at that location was struck with several rounds.  All three male suspects – an 18-year-old from Bay Point and two 21-year-olds from Antioch – were arrested on multiple charges related to the shooting and other offenses.

Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call the Antioch Police Department at (925)778-2441.
