A man was in critical condition from at least one gunshot wound, police said. When officers arrived, they found a good Samaritan giving first aid to the victim. The officers continued to provide first aid until medics arrived, but the victim, identified as 31-year-old Juan Martinez, was pronounced dead at the scene a little after 10 p.m., police said.
No suspect been identified or arrested.
On Tuesday, June 21, at about 2:53 p.m., two people were shot in the 1700 block of Giaramita Street, according to the East Bay Times, citing Contra Costa Sheriff’s spokesperson Jimmy Lee.
