1 Dead In Early Morning Shooting In El Sobrante

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

EL SOBRANTE (BCN) ―

Sheriff's investigators are questioning two suspects Thursday who may have been involved in a homicide in El Sobrante early this morning, Contra Costa County sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.

At about 3 a.m. the sheriff's office received a report of shots fired in the area of Argyle Road and Kirkpatrick Drive in the unincorporated Contra Costa County community of El Sobrante, Lee said.

They arrived to find a male victim in the street suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was taken by ambulance to Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, where he died from his injuries, Lee said.

Shortly after the shooting, Martinez police were involved in a pursuit on Marina Vista near Interstate Highway 680, Lee said.

Contra Costa sheriff's Lt. Will Duke said earlier today that a vehicle seen leaving the scene of the shooting appeared to match the description of the vehicle involved in the chase in Martinez.

Once the vehicle was stopped, three people took off on foot, Lee said. Police have since detained two of those suspects, who were being questioned Thursday morning.

The suspects have not been arrested, but Lee said investigators had information that led them to believe the suspects could have been involved in the homicide.
