San Pablo police say they have new leads in the investigation into the murder of Shawn Anthony Tillis this past summer.
Tillis, 27, of Antioch, was fatally shot at Rumrill Gardens Apartments at 1300 Rumrill Blvd. at about 2:51 a.m. on June 12.

One of the occupants of the Volkswagen was described as a Black man, 18-22 years old, standing 4-foot-11 to 5-foot-1, and weighing about 100 to 110 pounds, police said.
