Antioch Police say an Oakley man was arrested in connection to an attempted murder case after a January 30 shooting.
Antioch, CA — On Friday, January 30, 2026, at approximately 8:39 p.m., Antioch Police Department (APD) officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation reporting multiple rounds fired in the 2300 block of Buchanan Road. Officers arrived and located evidence consistent with a shooting.
Officers later learned a 42-year-old female was brought to an area hospital for a gunshot wound from this incident. She was treated for her injuries and is expected to survive.
Through continued follow-up, including interviewing witnesses, canvassing the area, collecting evidence, and reviewing available information, investigators identified a suspect, 43-year-old Jonta Davenport, of Oakley. San Rafael Police officers later located and detained Davenport, and APD officers responded, took custody of him, and transported him for booking. Davenport was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on a felony charge of Penal Code § 664/187(a) – Attempted Murder.
This is still an active investigation. To protect the integrity of the case, additional details are not being released at this time. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Angelini at (925) 779-6926 or email: rangelini@antiochca.gov . Tips may be provided anonymously.
APD sends special thanks to the San Rafael and Concord Police Departments for their assistance with this incident.
All arrests are allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
