Shooting Death of San Leandro Man, Two Others Stemmed From Drug Deal, Police Say

Bay City News Service- Investigators believe an argument over a drug deal led to the shooting deaths of three men inside an apartment in Richmond's Iron Triangle neighborhood on Saturday, Richmond police Capt. Mark Gagan said today.

Police received a 911 call reporting a shooting at 974 Triangle Circle in the Triangle Court public housing development just before 4:30 p.m., Gagan said. Police responded and found three men had been shot and killed: 28-year-old San Leandro resident Corey Walker II, 19-year-old Oakland resident Dante Deloney and 26-year-old Richmond resident Michael Anderson, Gagan said.

Two people were taken to the police station for questioning afterward but have since been released.

"After looking at the physical evidence and the statements they made, they are not being charged at this time," Gagan said.

Police declined to release further details about the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation.
