ANTIOCH, Calif. (KRON) — A shooting shut down Highway 4 in Antioch on Monday night.
It happened near Lone Tree Way in the eastbound lanes around 7:40 p.m.
California Highway Patrol responded and had to direct vehicles off of the highway and shut down the highway to investigate the scene. Officials did not release whether someone was injured or killed.
This comes while authorities are still investigating a similar shooting that happened last week.
24-year-old India Prince was also shot and killed on Highway 4 in Concord, and a juvenile was injured. Police have not released suspect information in that case.
“This is not normal at all,” said Shayla Jamerson, the aunt of India.
“I don’t know what it is about highway 4. Why is it so accessible for gun violence? Or why people are so comfortable just shoot in broad daylight?”
She is angry that another family is now grieving the loss of their loved one after being shot Monday night on the same road.
“I am praying for the family because as we grieve and prepare for a funeral it’s very careless and irresponsible and senseless.”
