BART PD makes arrest in shooting at Pittsburg Center Station
(Updated at 11:20am, January 23)
At 10:30 am on Tuesday, January 23rd the suspect in Friday afternoon’s shooting at Pittsburg Center Station was taken into custody. The 17-year-old suspect surrendered to BART Police detectives in Walnut Creek. The suspect will be booked into Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall. He’s believed to be the only suspect in Friday’s shooting. Video from one of BART’s network of more than 4,000 surveillance cameras throughout the system played an important role in identifying the suspect.
At 3:51 pm on Friday, January 19 BART PD received a call about a shooting that occurred on the platform of Pittsburg Center Station. The initial report was that a male suspect shot a male victim and fled the scene. The victim was taken to an area hospital and remains in critical condition.
A few hours later a second male victim who had also been shot showed up at an area hospital. The second victim remains in stable condition with a wound to his leg. BART PD is working to determine a motive for the shooting. At this point, investigators believe the shooting was not random.
The incident forced the shutdown of Pittsburg Center Station for approximately 4 1/2 hours so investigators could gather evidence. Investigators are also reviewing surveillance video captured by platform cameras at the station. The station has now been reopened and normal service has been restored.
