43-year-old man shot in Antioch drives himself to hospital
In critical condition
By Acting Lt. Gary Lowther #4032, Antioch Police Field Services Division
On Monday, February 23, 2026, at about 3:30 p.m., Antioch Police officers responded to the 2100 block of Lemontree Way following multiple reports of gunfire. Officers arrived within minutes and checked the area for evidence and potential witnesses, but no victim was initially located.
A short time later, a local hospital notified Antioch Police Dispatch that a gunshot victim had arrived at the emergency room. Officers responded and contacted a 43-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, later determined to be the same individual involved in the incident.
According to Emergency OnScene Team “the man was inside his Mercedes-Benz when he was shot multiple times during an apparent confrontation. Despite his injuries, the victim was able to rush from the scene and drive himself to the emergency at Sutter Delta Medical Center.” (See video. Warning: Contains graphic scenes)
He was transferred to a trauma center and is currently listed in critical condition.
This preliminary information was provided by the Field Services Division. Any additional updates or information will be released by the Investigations Bureau.
