Authorities have identified David Bahrami, a 26-year-old Antioch resident, as the man fatally shot by police last week. The shooting occurred on June 30 when officers responded to a report of a person threatening to harm others with a knife in a home on Osprey Lane.
During the encounter, police say Bahrami charged at them with the weapon, prompting an officer to discharge his firearm. The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an investigation into the incident, and the involved officer has been placed on paid administrative leave. As authorities have yet to disclose details about the number of shots fired or release any body camera footage, many are left seeking further information about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
