By Captain Matthew Koch #3018, Antioch Police Field Services Division
On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 6:17 PM, Antioch Police officers responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle at the intersection of A Street and W. 18th Street. The involved vehicle had fled the scene.
Upon arrival, officers located a 64-year-old Antioch man lying in the roadway and immediately provided medical aid until personnel from Con Fire arrived. He was transported to a local hospital with major injuries.
Witnesses provided officers with a description and license plate of the suspect vehicle. Officers located the responsible vehicle in the 4400 block of Deerfield Drive in Antioch. The driver, Oscar Manzano Muños, a 50-year-old Antioch resident, was taken into custody for felony hit-and-run and booked into the Martinez Detention Facility.
On November 21, 2025, the pedestrian struck by Manzano Muños died from his injuries. The Antioch Police Department’s Traffic Unit has assumed the investigation. This collision investigation remains in its preliminary stages, and the victim’s name is being withheld pending notification. Based on initial information, speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this incident.
It’s the second fatal hit-and-run in Antioch, this month and the third this year. The first occurred in January taking the life of a 68-year-old woman and the second claimed the life of a 60-year-old woman last Friday, Nov. 14.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925) 778-2441 or Traffic Collision Investigator Sergeant Rob Green at 925-779-6864, email rgreen@antiochca.gov.
