Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a shooting on Friday in Richmond that left a 28-year-old man dead and injured a 71-year-old man, police said Saturday.
At about 1 a.m. Friday, police responded to a ShotSpotter activation in the 1300 block of Coalinga Avenue where a 71-year-old resident had also reported a burglary, according to Richmond police Sgt. Nicole Abetkov.
Officers arrived to find the 71-year-old resident suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg outside a building used as a home and a plumbing business, Abetkov said.
The man was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where he was listed in stable condition on Friday, according to Abetkov.
A short time later, three men in a vehicle transported a gunshot victim to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, located about a mile from the site of the shooting on Coalinga Avenue.
That victim succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. He has been identified as Pierre Andre Reddrick Jr., 28, of Richmond, a Contra Costa County coroner's deputy said.
