A midday shooting on June 18, 2024, on the 700 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in Richmond, California, left two people dead and two others wounded. The Contra Costa County Coroner identified the victims who died as 30-year-old Alvaro Garcia Par and 21-year-old Maciyah Brown, both Richmond residents. Alvaro Garcia Par, originally from Guatemala, was shot as he was leaving the Family Market & Deli; officers reached the scene after a ShotSpotter activation and found one victim deceased there. The other three victims were taken to local trauma centers and one later died.

Richmond police increased patrols and launched high-visibility operations after this and other recent violence. During a 30-hour period beginning June 19, four suspects were arrested and four firearms seized, though it is unclear whether those arrests relate to the Pennsylvania Avenue attack. No specific arrests in the deaths of Alvaro Garcia Par and Maciyah Brown have been reported. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Richmond Police Department.
