Father Killed, Son Injured In Richmond Shooting

A North Richmond man is dead and his adult son seriously injured after the pair were shot in front of a home early Saturday morning, according to the Contra Costa County sheriff's office.

At about 1:25 a.m., the sheriff's office received a report of a shooting in the 1700 block of First Street in the North Richmond area of Contra Costa County, according to spokesman Jimmy Lee. Sheriff's deputies found a 59-year-old man and his son, 29, had been shot in front of a home.

The father was pronounced dead at the scene. His son was transferred to a nearby hospital, then airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, according to Lee.

Sheriff's deputies set up a perimeter and searched the area, but did not locate any suspects, Lee said. Detectives are investigating the motives behind the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at (925) 646-2441.
