A Tongan man is still at large after a fatal shooting outside a tobacco shop near a strip mall in Concord, California about 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, the Concord Police Department said.
Police have now launched a homicide investigation into the death of the victim, a 21-year-old man.
One suspect, a 19-year-old woman from Martinez, was arrested Tuesday evening, but a second suspect in the shooting is still at large and believed to be in Oakland, officials reportedly said.
Officials identified the second suspect as Sione “Ono” Amanaki, a 20-year-old man from Concord, the Bay Area’s The Daily reported.
Officers arrived at the scene in the area of Solano Way and Broadmoor Avenue after receiving a call at about 9.48 am. regarding gunshots, police said.
Police said two people were found with gunshot wounds; a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other person was taken to the hospital. KTVU reported that the wounded individual was the 21-year-old’s stepfather.
Lieutenant Sean Donnelly with the Concord police told SFGATE that the surviving person is in critical condition. He said the motive is “most likely drug-related.”
Concord police said the investigation is still ongoing.
