BRENTWOOD — Officers recovered several bullet shell casings and arrested a man suspected of committing a drive-by shooting. He is allegedly responsible for shooting at an occupied residence before driving away from the scene.
The incident happened December 15th at approximately 9:15 p.m. Police responded to a reported shooting that occurred at a residence on the 100 block of Dunedin Drive. Several residents were at home at the time.
Witnesses helped investigators identify the suspect’s vehicle, a sliver sedan with bullet holes—presumably from a prior unrelated incident. Detectives found that vehicle on December 16th and impounded it as evidence.
Upon further investigation, 19-year-old Jose Isidro Pena, of Brentwood, was identified as the driver and shooting suspect. Pena was arrested January 7th on a Ramey Warrant. He is being held in custody in lieu of $250,000 bond at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond
On January 10th, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office charged Pena with shooting at an inhabited dwelling PC 246.
