Man killed after masked gunmen storm into Pittsburg home

PITTSBURG — Two masked gunmen shot a 30-year-old man to death inside a Pittsburg home early Saturday morning, police said.

The shooting was reported just after midnight at a home on the 200 block of Havenwood Circle, according to Pittsburg Police.

Authorities said the two armed men entered the house and “engaged in an altercation” with the shooting victim and others inside, then fatally shot the man in the torso before fleeing in what police described as a grey or silver import sedan.

Police did not release a description of the gunmen Saturday, and did not immediately respond to a message seeking more information.

Investigators have received information that the victim and the people who shot him may have known one another, police said, and are working to confirm that tip.

The shooting is Pittsburg’s seventh homicide of 2019.

Police are asking anyone who has information about the killing to call their tip line at 925-252-4040.
