The suspect, identified as Carlos Palacios, was wanted in connection with a fatal shooting earlier that year in the Central Valley. The lockdown, which began just before 2 p.m. and lasted until shortly after 5 p.m., was triggered by Palacios' presence in the area.

The victim, a 40-year-old man, was found with at least one gunshot wound and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Detectives had obtained a warrant for Palacios' arrest, and he was subsequently apprehended on Monday in Antioch after Police conducted a yard to yard search. The motive for the shooting was not disclosed by the police.
