BREAKING: 2nd person dies in Pleasant Hill shooting, police describe incident as attempted robbery turned homicide

2nd person dies in Pleasant Hill shooting, police describe incident as attempted robbery turned homicide.

A suspect who police say shot and killed a cannabis industry delivery driver in Pleasant Hill Tuesday morning has died from injuries suffered in a shootout with the victim. 

The Pleasant Hill Police Department on Wednesday announced that the second person injured in Tuesday's shooting at a condominium complex has died and was one of the gunmen in an attempted robbery of a cannabis worker that ended in homicide.

The police released the following statement:

"*******PRESS RELEASE UPDATE 3/20/24*******


The second person shot during Tuesday’s incident on Twinbridge Circle has died in the hospital as a result of his injuries.


The identities of the two decedents are Pleasant Hill resident Peter Popovich, 63, and San Pablo resident Trevon Davis, 21. Pleasant Hill Police investigators have confirmed Popovich and Davis did not know one another.


This case is now being investigated as an attempted robbery resulting in homicide.

Investigators determined the victim, Peter Popovich, worked in the legal cannabis industry. The company he worked for sells packaging materials for the legal distribution and sales of cannabis. Earlier in the day, Popovich had been working in his capacity as a delivery driver, delivering packaging materials to Bay Area cannabis distributors.


At this time, the facts of this investigation indicate that Popovich was targeted for robbery by Trevon Davis and at least one other suspect while he was standing near his van parked on Twinbridge Circle. Both the suspects and Popovich were armed, leading to an exchange of gunfire. During this altercation, both Popovich and Davis were shot multiple times. At least one other suspect immediately fled the scene and, at this time, has not been identified. No arrest has been made.


Pleasant Hill Police investigators determined Popovich used his own firearm during the incident. Popovich’s firearm was recovered at the scene. Popovich possessed a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon which was issued by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.


During the initial investigation, witnesses told investigators they heard the shooting and then saw a vehicle fleeing the scene. Currently, there is no information to share regarding the suspect vehicle.


This incident remains an active investigation. Any person with information related to this crime is encouraged to contact the Pleasant Hill Police Investigations Bureau at (925) 288-4630."
