Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call the sheriff's office at (925) 313-2600.

Two men and a teenage boy were injured in two separate shootings during a four-hour period in North Richmond late Monday night and early this morning, a Contra Costa County sheriff’s spokesman said.
The first shooting happened around 10:20 p.m. near Shields-Reid Park in the area of Chesley Avenue and Fifth Street, according to sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Lee. As deputies arrived on scene, they learned that a 17-year-old boy wounded in the shooting had arrived at Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, Lee said.
The boy was treated and later released. Around 2:30 a.m., the sheriff’s office was notified that two men had arrived at Doctors Medical Center after apparently being injured in a shooting in the 1700 block of Harold Street in North Richmond. One of the victims, a 25-year-old man, was treated and released while the second man, a 24-year-old, was transferred to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.
