James William Jr., 36, of Antioch, California, was killed during an attempted robbery at the Chevron station where he worked as a clerk at 2701 Contra Loma Blvd. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. on November 26, 2022. Jackson then returned fire, hitting James in the chest and leg; James died of those wounds.

Ronald Jackson Jr. was arrested and found in possession of stolen property and a firearm. The District Attorney chose not to file murder charges, instead charging Jackson with robbery, possession of stolen property, and a firearm enhancement. The Antioch Police Department says the investigation remains ongoing and has asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew James, worked with him at the Chevron, or witnessed the early-morning events that night, please share what you know with police.
