By Lt. John Fortner, Antioch Police Investigations Bureau

On Sunday, June 11, 2023 at approximately 12:58 AM, the Antioch Police Department Dispatch Center started receiving numerous 9-1-1 calls reporting multiple gunshots being fired at a residence in the 3300 block of Sunset Lane.

As officers were responding, witnesses called to report several victims had been shot. When officers arrived at the scene, they located multiple victims outside, and a large crowd. Officers were told a birthday party for a 19-year-old male was being held at the residence, which attracted a lot of party-goers. During the party, multiple shots were fired after some uninvited guests arrived. This created a panic where attendees, to include gunshot victims, fled in multiple directions and into the neighborhood. Many victims drove themselves to local area hospitals.

After numerous officers secured the scene, it was determined a total of seven (7) people suffered from gunshot wounds.

– (1) 18-year-old female was transported to a local area hospital and succumbed to her injuries

– (1) 18-year-old male suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound

– (2) 19-year-old females and (1) 19-year-old male suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds

– (2) 20-year-old females suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds

Prior to police arrival, the suspect(s) fled the area in a vehicle and have not been contacted by police. Antioch Police Department’s Investigations Bureau responded to the scene and took over the investigation.
