On Monday, December 14, 2015 at approximately 2:15 AM the Antioch Police Department received several calls that a person had been shot and the victim was in his residence in the 3200 block of Longview Road.  Officers responded and found the victim. a 24-year-old Antioch man, lying in his residence.  The victim was suffering from several gunshot wounds.  The officers rendered aid and summoned medical personnel to the scene.

The victim told officers that his female friend’s husband, Fernando Escobedo, a 23-year-old Bay Point resident, came into his residence and shot him. Officers determined from witnesses the identity of the responsible and a description of the vehicle he fled in.

Medical personnel arrived, provided medical aid, and transported the victim to a local hospital where he underwent medical treatment for the gunshot wounds and is expected to survive.

An Antioch Police Officer located Escobedo driving on State Route 160 and followed him onto State Route 4.  A high risk car stop was performed on west bound State Route 4 east of the Loveridge Road off ramp.  Escobedo was taken into custody without incident.  Escobedo will be transported to the Martinez Detention Facility and booked on charges of Attempted Murder, Burglary and a weapons enhancement with a total bail of $2,050,000. No further information will be released at this time.

There is no booking photo available at this time.

Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Detective Vanderpool with the Antioch Police Department at (925) 779-6988. You may also text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using key word ANTIOCH.

On November 19, 2015 at approximately 4:47 PM the Antioch Police Department was dispatched to a residence in the 2300 block of Peppertree Way for an unresponsive male after a disturbance at the location.  The male, Johnny Reed, a 69-year-old Antioch resident, was transported to an area hospital.

The investigation into this incident has revealed that Lisa Parker and Reed were in a relationship and on November 19th, Parker and Reed had an argument at the Peppertree Way address.  The argument lead to Parker assaulting Reed and strangling Reed with a belt.  Parker then left and walked to a relative’s house on William Reed Drive where she called the police and told the dispatcher that she had just strangled Reed and left him lying on the floor with the belt still around his neck.  When Officers arrived they found Reed with the belt around his neck and no signs of life.  Officers began CPR and the Fire Department took over when they arrived.  A heart beat was eventually re-established and Reed was transported to an area hospital.

After Parker’s original arrest on November 19th, this case was presented to the Office of the District Attorney.  After review, the DA’s Office chose not to file charges at that time.  The decision not to file was based on the fact that the victim was still on life support at an area hospital and the attempted murder charge would not be appropriate in the event that the victim died.  Reed remained on life support without any indication of brain activity until family members made the decision to remove him from life support on Monday, December 7th.  Reed succumbed to his injuries and died on Tuesday, December 8th.

On Wednesday, Dec. 9th, the Office of the District Attorney filed this case, charging Parker with Murder and Elder Abuse-Causing Death.  Immediately after the DA filed the charges, Antioch Police Detectives had a “no bail” warrant signed for Parker’s arrest and then located her as she was arriving at her relative’s house on William Reed Drive.  Parker was taken into custody without incident and has been booked into the Contra Costa County Main Detention Facility.

This is the seventh homicide in Antioch for 2015.

By Corporal Powell Meads, Antioch Police Field Services Bureau

On December 9th, 2015 at approximately 1:33 PM, Antioch Police Officers were dispatched to Deer Valley High School for a threats complaint.  School employees reported that a known parent, 41-year-old June Kirtman of Antioch, had threatened to blow up the school.

Arriving officers determined that Kirtman dropped her 15-year-old son off before school and he was assaulted near the Antioch Community Center (across the street from the high school). When Kirtman was advised of the assault, she responded to the office and became upset. Kirtman threatened to blow up the school, prompting the school staff to make mass calls to parents to inform them of the incident.

Kirtman was contacted at her residence and arrested without incident.

At 1:16 PM, today, Antioch Police Officers responded to the Chase Bank at 3457 Deer Valley Road on the report of an armed take-over robbery.  Several callers reported seeing three Black males wearing dark clothing and masks enter the bank.  At least one of the suspects was reported to be armed with a black firearm.  One of the males ordered everyone in the bank to get down on the ground.  The suspects stole money from the bank, and one customer’s wallet.  No gunshots were fired, and the victims were not injured during this incident.

The suspects fled in an unknown vehicle and in an unknown direction at a high rate of speed.  Shortly afterwards, a citizen from a nearby neighborhood called in a suspicious circumstance.  It was reported that three Black males abandoned a silver SUV on the street and left in a white SUV that was waiting for them.  It was later determined that the abandoned vehicle was reported stolen out of San Pablo and used in the robbery of the bank.

This incident is currently under investigation.

This preliminary information is made available by the Field Services Bureau. Anyone with information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department non emergency line at (925) 778-2441.  You may also text-a-tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using the key word ANTIOCH.

During a court hearing on Friday, December 4, 2015, a Superior Court judge denied Contra Costa School Board Trustee Jeff Belle’s motion to dismiss the charge of lying on his candidate statement, in last year’s election.

Following that decision Belle was arraigned and plead not guilty to the charge, according to Deputy District Attorney Steve Moawad, who filed the case.

A pre-trial hearing in the case is set for 8:45 a.m. on February 11th in Martinez.

Belle is accused of lying about having a college degree, when he did not have one at the time he ran for and was elected to the county school board. The crime carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine.
