On Friday night, the Antioch Police Department responded to a reported traffic collision at an intersection in Antioch, involving two vehicles, one of which was carrying two boys, aged 12 and 13, who sadly died of their injuries. It appears speed and reckless driving were factors in this incident, and the driver of one of the vehicles fled on foot. The police are now seeking the suspect and asking anyone with information or who may have witnessed the collision to come forward.

Nine current or former police officers from Antioch and Pittsburg, California, have been indicted on federal charges related to civil rights violations, fraud, wire fraud, deprivation of rights under color of law, conspiracy against rights, and conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids. Three of the officers are also accused of exchanging racist and derogatory text messages, and the indictments allege that the officers sought to get a pay raise by committing fraud and that they lied on reports to cover up the use of excessive force. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is urging anyone with information about the case to contact the FBI.
