Interim Police Chief Brian Addington stated that recent shootings, particularly following the murder of Elijah Scales, demonstrate a concerning trend in Antioch's gun violence.
The Antioch Police Department has announced a strategy involving additional patrols in specific areas identified as having elevated risks for gun violence to improve community safety.
With at least 11 reported shootings since early September, the department is determining connections between cases, particularly noting that some incidents may be linked to Scales' death.
The city aims to not only reduce gun violence through enforcement but also restore a sense of security amongst residents and local businesses in affected neighborhoods.
