The California Highway Patrol has arrested a suspect in two freeway shootings in Alameda and Contra Costa County.
MARTINEZ — A 33-year-old Antioch man suspected of at least two non-fatal freeway shootings Tuesday night and early Wednesday has been arrested and a gun he tried to discard was recovered, the California Highway Patrol said.
The suspect, David Milburn, who was arrested early Wednesday, is being held on $1 million bail at the Martinez Detention Facility. The CHP said he was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, shooting at a vehicle and multiple counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.Man charged in 2024 Hayward fatal hit-and-run The CHP alleged Milburn was driving a white Chrysler Crossfire at 8:07 p.m. Tuesday when he shot a man who was driving westbound on Highway 4 near Willow Pass Road in Concord. That man was hospitalized. Milburn is also suspected of shooting at a vehicle driven by a man at about 12:52 a.m. Wednesday on eastbound Highway 24 near Highway 13 in Oakland. The car was hit by the gunfire, but the man driving was not injured.Milburn was arrested about 1:35 a.m. Wednesday in Solano County after CHP officers spotted the Chrysler on eastbound I-80 near Midway Road on the Vacaville-Dixon border. He initially refused to stop but was arrested without incident after a short vehicle pursuit, the CHP said. During the chase, he was seen throwing a semi-automatic pistol and two high-capacity magazines from the vehicle which were recovered, the CHP said. Detectives from the CHP’s Golden Gate Division Special Investigations Unit linked all three incidents to Milburn with help from the Traffic Management Center, Communications Center and Flock Safety freeway camera data. “Swift work by CHP personnel across the Bay Area directly led to the apprehension of another dangerous criminal who chose to endanger the general public with his reckless and careless behavior,” CHP Golden Gate Division Chief Don Goodbrand said. “From officers in the field to detectives and dispatchers, incredible teamwork is the key to successful outcomes in these investigations, and I applaud all of them for their hard work.” The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information or who may have been involved in incidents with a white Chrysler Crossfire is asked to call the CHP investigative tip line at 707-917-4491.Dear Abby: My girlfriend cries if we’re apart for 2 days.
