Christopher Monico, a 21-year-old resident of Antioch, California, was fatally shot on March 2, 2015. When he approached a car late that night, Belfield, then 34 and also an Antioch resident, fired a shotgun from the backseat and Monico was struck while his hands were raised in the air.

The vehicle fled and was later involved in a high-speed chase that ended when it crashed into a garage. Belfield, Kimberly Saunders and Richard Ludlow were arrested at the scene. Belfield was charged with murder, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and being a felon in possession of ammunition; Saunders and Ludlow were charged with murder and accessory to murder, and Ludlow faced an additional felony evading police charge. During the trial Ludlow testified that Monico’s hands were raised when he was shot and described earlier tensions between Monico and Belfield. Saunders said Monico had been hiding at the residence and called the shooting a tragic accident.

What did readers in Antioch remember about Hudson Court or the people involved that night?
