On February 18, at approximately 11:00 pm, San Ramon Police officers were dispatched to the Mill Creek Apartments, located on Waterstone Place in the City of San Ramon for a report of shots fired.
Officers found a female adult in the complex parking lot who had sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to the hospital and is in stable condition.
The investigation into this incident began immediately. Due to the combined information developed by Patrol Officers and Detectives, the suspect was quickly identified as an ex-boyfriend of the victim. He was believed to be traveling to Southern California. Detectives worked with multiple agencies in Southern California to locate the suspect.
Ultimately, Forest T. McCaskill (a 26-year-old resident of Concord) was arrested Monday afternoon in Anaheim by the Anaheim Police Department on a warrant obtained by San Ramon Police Detectives for Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Attempted Murder. A firearm was located during a search of the suspect’s vehicle and it’s currently being tested by the crime lab. McCaskill was transported and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility. Detectives requested prosecution from
the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office in this case.
The Contra Costa District Attorneys Office filed the listed charges against McCaskill earlier today:
- PC 187/664 Attempted Murder
- PC 245(a)(4) Assault with a Deadly Weapon/Firearm with enhancements of using a firearm and causing great bodily injury
- PC 273.5 Domestic Violence with enhancements of using a firearm and causing great
