Walnut Creek police arrest Concord resident for allegedly shooting another man downtown

Walnut Creek police have arrested a man suspected of shooting someone downtown last week.

Police arrested Jose Cavazos at his Concord home on Thursday in connection with a shooting that occurred earlier in the day.

Officers responded to a 911 call from the 1600 block of South Main Street at approximately 7 a.m. that day. The victim was not struck by gunfire or injured.

On Friday, police presented the case to the district attorney, who charged Cavazos with assault with an enhanced semi-automatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and possession of a firearm despite previous convictions for violent crimes.

Cavazos remains in custody; bail was set at $870,000.

Police are asking anyone with information about the case to call them at (925) 943-5844.
