As previously reported, on January 17, 2023, at approximately 10:45 am, the Antioch Police Department Dispatch Center received multiple calls regarding a shooting at The Spot Liquor Store (formerly Quik Stop) located at 1108 Sycamore Drive in the Sycamore Square shopping center. The callers advised there was someone shot at the location. Officers immediately responded and located a male in the parking lot, suffering from a gunshot wound. The 25-year-old Pittsburg resident, identified as Emani Flenoid, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Corey Hill, a 19-year-old male out of Antioch, was identified as a suspect in this case by detectives from our Investigations Bureau. He was arrested on an unrelated matter in Orinda and found to be wanted for our homicide.
