The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff on Nov. 21 served additional arrest warrants and search warrants in multiple locations, including Martinez and Vallejo, in connection with the Oct. 31 Orinda shooting. Law enforcement agencies had served arrest warrants and search warrants in several Bay Area counties and arrested five suspects on Nov. 14, but the Contra Costa District Attorney declined to press charges and the suspects were released shortly thereafter.
The two suspects are identified as: Domico Dones, 29, of Martinez, who was booked on charges related to the Orinda shooting, and Frederick Johnson, 29, of Vallejo, who was also booked on charges related to the Orinda shooting. The Contra Costa County DA's Office has filed two formal charges against Dones: being a felon in possession of a firearm and a felon in possession of ammunition. The Solano County DA's Office has filed the following charges against Johnson: being a felon in possession of a firearm, a felon in possession of ammunition, and child endangerment. Both suspects are being held at the Martinez Detention Facility. Dones is being held in lieu of $300,000 bail; Johnson is being held in lieu of $75,000 bail. The sheriff's office was assisted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston, evidence shows two of the deceased persons inside the house were themselves armed, which, he said, may have played a role in this tragedy. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600.
