Antioch man shot by Concord police IDd

Concord police have identified the 40-year-old Antioch man who was wanted in a domestic violence case Sunday after being shot and wounded by police officers the night before in Concord.

Authorities said Joshua Robertson is recovering at a local hospital from nonlife-threatening injuries.

“I was shocked, I was stunned, and I was regretful,” said Robertson’s father, who did not want to be named.

He said a detective told him that the bullet had been removed from Robertson and that his son would be arrested Sunday.

The incident occurred about 5:30 p.m. Saturday when officers stopped a vehicle on the 1500 block of Allegro Avenue, near Clayton Road, during an investigation of the domestic violence incident that happened earlier that day in Antioch, according to the Concord Police Department.

Robertson was a passenger in the vehicle that was stopped, police said.

When officers tried to place him under arrest, he fled and an officer-involved shooting occurred, injuring Robertson, police said. Police declined to elaborate on the details leading to the shooting.

Robertson previously had a felony arrest warrant issued by Contra Costa County for robbery, making terrorist threats and for dissuading a witness through the threat of violence, police said. No other information regarding those charges was released.

The Contra Costa County district attorney is investigating the officer-involved shooting.
