On March 19, 2024, 63-year-old Pleasant Hill resident Peter John Popovich was fatally shot during an attempted robbery near his home on Twinbridge Circle. Popovich, who worked as a delivery driver for packaging materials in the legal cannabis industry, was standing by his parked van when he was confronted by assailants. An exchange of gunfire followed; Popovich and one of the attackers, 21-year-old Trevon Davis of San Pablo, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and both later died at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.

Investigators reported that Popovich had a valid concealed carry permit from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and used his own firearm during the incident. Witnesses heard multiple shots and saw a vehicle flee; at least one additional suspect was believed to have escaped the scene and remained unidentified at the time. On April 18, 2024, after about a month of investigation, police arrested two Richmond residents, 18-year-old Joe Washington Jr. and 20-year-old Money Green, in Sacramento; they were booked into the Contra Costa County jail in Martinez.

Anyone with photographic or video evidence or other information about the shooting is asked to contact the Pleasant Hill Police Investigations Bureau at (925) 288-4630.
