PITTSBURG (CBS SF) – A man suspected of fatally shooting another man last week outside a Baskin-Robbins ice cream store in Pittsburg has surrendered to authorities, police said Monday night.
On Sunday, Pittsburg police detectives learned that 19-year-old Larry Daryl Neal Jr. of Antioch had turned himself in to the Martinez Detention Facility, police said.
According to Pittsburg police, on Wednesday at 3 p.m. a shooting occurred at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream store at 4493 Century Blvd.
Officers arrived and found 43-year-old Robert Hopkins Jr. of Bethel Island suffering from several gunshot wounds. Hopkins was taken to Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch, where he died, police said.
After investigating, police identified Neal as the shooter and served search and arrest warrants at his residence, but he was not home, police said.
Police managed to speak to Neal on the phone, but he allegedly did not cooperate. Police then searched for Neal, but could not locate him, police said.
