A man fatally shot in unincorporated North Richmond late Tuesday night has been identified as 30-year-old Pinole resident Abdifatah Robleh, a Contra Costa County deputy coroner said Wednesday.

The sheriff's office received a call reporting that a body was in the middle of the street near the intersection of First Street and West Grove Avenue at about 11 p.m., Contra Costa County sheriff's Lt. Jeff Jennings said.

Robleh was still breathing when deputies found him in the street suffering from a gunshot wound. They administered CPR, but were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.

"We have no witnesses, no motive and no suspects at this time," Lee said.

An autopsy was being conducted on Robleh Wednesday morning.

Robleh is the second person to be fatally shot in unincorporated North Richmond this year. The first victim, a 28-year-old Richmond-area transient identified as Marcus Bryant, was gunned down Feb. 4 in the 100 block of Malcolm Drive about three blocks from where Robleh was killed, according to the sheriff's office.
