(KRON) — One person is in custody after a gunshot victim arrived at the John Muir Emergency Department in Concord at 4:30 p.m. on March 18.
The Concord Police Department started an investigation into the shooting and located the scene of the shooting at Esperanza Drive and Huron Drive. During the investigation, Devante Lucas Watson was identified as the shooter, the Concord Police Department said.
Watson was located in Richmond and arrested with help from the U.S. Marshals Service. Concord detectives also served multiple search warrants and located a loaded gun.
“Further investigation has led to the conclusion this was a targeted attack and not a random act of violence,” the Concord Police Department said.
Watson was booked into the Concord Jail on two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, one count of discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle, one count of a felon in possession of a firearm and discharging a firearm in a school zone.
Watson is being held at the Martinez Detention Facility on $1.5 million bail. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening. They were treated and released from the hospital.
