On the evening of May 1, 2023, 31-year-old Clayton Bryant Sills of Pittsburg, California, was shot and killed in Antioch. After attending his 9-year-old son’s baseball game, Sills left to pick up a pizza for his family and did not return. His wife Ariana tracked his phone to a 7-Eleven on Hillcrest Avenue and found the parking lot cordoned off by police with his Toyota Avalon at the scene.

Antioch officers say they responded to a solo vehicle collision there around 7:40 p.m. and found Sills in the driver’s seat with at least one gunshot wound. Evidence indicated the shooting happened inside the vehicle, possibly near a nearby restaurant or gas station, before he drove across Hillcrest Avenue and crashed at the 7-Eleven. Witnesses reported seeing two men flee on foot. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unknown.

The shooting was the city’s second homicide in 2023. The family described Sills as a devoted father of two; a GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral and living expenses. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night, or know more about where Sills had stopped before the crash?
