Authorities have named the deceased suspect as Trevon Davis, 21, from San Pablo. The other person killed was identified as Peter Popovich, 63, from Pleasant Hill.
The incident unfolded when Pleasant Hill Police were called to the scene after reports of gunfire at a cannabis retail outlet located on Twinbridge Circle near Longbrook Way.
