Man, I pray for the victim and family. The crime is really getting bad in this little valley.
Maybe a gasoline heist. That’d be cool. What’s better than road rage? Just looking at them and smiling and wave. That’ll do more emotional damage than yelling back.
…yup…getting more like you know where…. nothing here… move along… move along
This is not good!
Violence is increasing
This is below not good.
this is double plus bad
Were they from Oakland or Antioch/Pittsburg?
@BaltB – Sorry, but I rarely hear criminals coming from Concord. It’s always Antioch/Pittsburg, Vallejo, Oakland, etc.
@Jason, concord has higher and more violent crime annual than Pittsburg…and more drug arrests. look it up!

@Concord one – Concord is widely known for having the lowest violent crime statistics for any city in the Bay Area its size. Property crime may be up there. Just check out violent crime stats for Concord, it is on par with Walnut Creek and Concord is almost double the size.

Haha hilarious, you guys are arguing about which town sucks slightly less…FYI, Concord is indeed a s-hole.
Love how all articles no longer describe the suspect… Unless he’s white, then it’s ok. People clearly saw the suspect if they saw them jump out of the passenger seat. Woke/pc culture/liberal policies at their finest. RIP to the victim.
Well, a no description is kind of a description now. WE all know.
They described exactly who did it. It was a BMW. It might have even been an SUV.
Tyler:
You hit the nail on the head. Reverse discrimination?????
Sam: It is for sure “Reverse Discrimination” … just like all the TV advertisements that have no white folks in them. At least 75% “people of color” (especially black). I hope I can claim some of the welfare benefits that are due me as an under represented “minority” ??!!??
I work right where it happened,apparently it’s a homicide.30+Police,choppers etc.Shooter on the run.
Despite all this crime, I suspect this county will still vote 70%+ for democrats whether it be local, state, or federal.
You get what you vote for, citizens.
Just so you know, 7 of the top 10 states with the highest crime rate voted republican last presidential election, but go on…
@Drew
Apparently, their votes didn’t count.
Well he’s been called orange man, big mouth, and mean tweeter. . . . but things were actually much better under Trump. Everything’s going to hell in a handbasket at home and abroad. 1 year of total control by the Democrats is causing a lot of damage at home and in the world!
Oh please, how out of context can you get by saying STATES…doesn’t matter what list it is, “highest violent crime”, “most dangerous” etc. and the vast majority of the CITIES on that list are Democrat-run hellscapes, and you probably don’t have to look far to find a woke, “restorative justice” DA nearby that good chance was Soros-funded.
Badge 1104 short term memory problem. Under the orange man let’s see, mass school shooting in FL, George Floyd murder, among other high profile murders. And what about Covid.
You can’t look at anyone wrong when your driving, keep your hands on The wheel and get where your going
I came through there this morning – very scary.
Oh wow, you drove through the same place that thousands of people do every day, are you going to be okay after such a close call???
.
“Unconscious”?
More like “dead”.
Law enforcement will typically understate the situation then pronounce the person dead at the hospital… psychologically saves the public from the experience of seeing a dead body.
Sometimes not.
Tragic.
My thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of the victim.
A pox on the hose of the shooter.
I hope the shooter spends a long time in jail.
But this DA, I’m not so sure.
You have the chance to change who the DA will be in June.
Take advantage of it.
If this stuff keeps happening in Lafayette & Walnut Creek now, money really can’t buy you safety anymore.
@Jason – No, “this stuff” doesn’t “keep happening” in Lafayette. This incident took place along a busy highway in an unincorporated location near the Lafayette/ PH border, not within city limits. Most Lafayette residents don’t even realize that the area has some Lafayette addresses, even though it’s functionally part of Pleasant Hill.
Not sure what you mean about “money can’t buy safety in Walnut Creek; WC has had a few freak murders recently (I recall one bum fight, one freeway road rage spillover, and 1 am gangland shootout near a seedy nightclub at the end of a dark ally in the shabbiest quadrant of town), but it’s still fairly safe for an lower-middle class exurb. Not a bad choice if you don’t want to to work hard.
It happened in Lafayette, shooter could be from Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Oakland or anywhere. Does not matter where he is from he is a dangerous idiot with a short fuse, he needs to be off the streets
@Hanne Jeppeson Agreed!!
Yes so agree Some Family is without a love one tonight 😢
It’s nasty intersection. Every day I see man driving a Mercedes with his teenage daughter, running red lights, passing people in the opposite lane, and speeding. He lives on Reliez Valley Road.
Gina,
Get the plates and report it. Don’t just keep watching that happen until something worse happens.
Helicopters still circling the area.
Stay frosty out there people!
@Gina, please try and get that license plate and report! That kind of negligence needs stopped. Prayers for the victim and family. Prayers for justice and locking up of the idiot criminal hot head.
Likely limo tint, 20”wheels, dealer plates, punched out trunk lock, and driver in the fully reclined position.
What does the kind of car have to do with road rage. It’s the driver that’s at fault, l use to drive a charcoal grey BMW 528e, l certainly never engaged in road rage. The shooter is an idiot, he took life, the victim most likely leaves behind family, and the shooter’s life is ruined and he might have family that will be affected. For what because he got mad at how someone was driving!! As infuriating as a rude driver might be, it has no lasting negative effect on your life. Just chill.
Welcome to Contra Costa … the best place to raise a family … sighhh #yourvotesmatter
So tired of the increasing crime in our area, actually all of California. Liberal policies, returning criminals to the streets without bail, etc, etc. We need a DA who will actually take action and not be a coward when it comes to pressing charges. And our government pretends to know why people are leaving the state. Newsflash, it isn’t the homeless problem it’s the politics that give scumbags nore power than law abiding tax paying citizens.
Shot in the stomach?
The government now needs to use this money from the gas they are making a killing off of and the taxes from people using third party payment apps like venmo and cashapp to start purchasing and distributing ballistic grade vests to civilians that have a right to own them and wear them to protect themselves.
Don’t wanna arm legitimate citizens wanting to defend themselves and their families? Vest up.
Don’t wanna prosecute criminals to the fullest extent? Vest up.
Can’t catch violent criminals in the heat of the moment? Vest up.
Defund they police to satisfy far left wing radical organizations and followers? Vest up.
The result? Better use of our tax money and less dead civilians like this one.
Perhaps our Governor can negotiate a long deal on a couple billion worth of Chinese made ballistic vests. Of course he would distribute them first to the LGBTQ community; its only fair……… Naturally these vests would be budgeted as “human infrastructure”.
This sounds gang related or a targeted shooting. Stepping out of your car and shooting is an assassination not a drive by. It’s personal.
Agree 100%…I don’t believe the “story” of road rage. Seems totally targeted.
