“I think in this case, this is a strong outcome. All four defendants will be facing a lengthy prison sentences,” says Simon O’Connell, Chief Assistant District Attorney for Contra Costa County. “The resolution that has been struck in this matter brings accountability to this case.”
This case dates back to a 2021 drive-by shooting in residential area in Antioch.
The defendants, 23-year-old Terryonn Pugh, 25-year-old Eric Windom, 25-year-old Keyshawn McGee, and 23-year-old Trent Allen, were facing murder charges, which included gun and gang enhancements along with special circumstances. Those could have led to life in prison.
