Lamont Carter, 40, of Pinole, California, was shot and killed in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Bay View Farm Road on the morning of September 14, 2022. Officers responded to reports of gunshots and people yelling at about 9:14 a.m.; Carter was found with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
