A man died in Pittsburg early Wednesday following a shooting, police said.

Officers still were on the scene past 8:30 a.m. after responding to El Dorado Drive and Shasta Circle at about 3:15 a.m. According to a police statement released by spokesman Capt. Steve Albanese, officers responded to reports that a vehicle had been involved in a collision.

Authorities did not immediately identify the man.

When they arrived, officers found that the car had hit a telephone pole and several parked cars and that its driver had been pulled out onto the street by a by-stander who was doing CPR, Albanese said.

As they observed the CPR, officers also noticed the man being treated had a single bullet wound in his torso, Albanese said. The man died at the scene.

Pittsburg police have investigated three previous homicides in 2021. Two of them were the result of a fatal car crash on E. Leland Road on April 12. A 25-year-old man has been charged with two counts of murder in that case.

Members of the Pittsburg Police Departments Crime Scene Investigation unit were at the scene, and Albanese said detectives were working to locate any local video surveillance that may have captured the shooting. They also are looking for witnesses, Albanese said.

Police urged anyone with information to contact their tip line at 925-252-4040.
