Aug. 8, 1:58 a.m. Officers of the Antioch Police Department responded to the report of a fight and an injured man on Gardenia Court. Upon arrival, officers found a 29-year-old male Pittsburg resident unconscious at the scene suffering from injuries to his face. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital. It was discovered that the man had been dealt extensive head injuries and was in critical condition. Antioch Police have identified 30-year-old David Moreno Stokes as the person responsible for the assault. Stokes is currently on parole for corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant. He is believed to be at large in the Bay Area and has an extensive violent criminal history. Shannon Marie Kaiser, 30, was identified as the owner of the house where the crime took place. A search of the house revealed approximately 45 grams of methamphetamine and paraphernalia used to prepare methamphetamine for distribution. Antioch police were also able to determine that Kaiser transported Stokes from the scene. Kaiser refused to disclose this to police, and misled police about many aspects of this case, including the identity of Stokes, whom she has known for many years. She has been charged with possession of methamphetamine for sale and for aiding and abetting a felon. Those who spots Stokes should contact their local jurisdiction by calling 911, and those with information regarding this case should contact Antioch Police Det. Mellone at 925-779-6930.
