of Violent Criminal Activity
By Robert Souza

Just before 3 p.m. Friday, sheriff’s deputies were summoned to Alameda County Hydroponics, at 20910 Redwood Road, Suite C, where they found business owner Christopher Bolton, 31, suffering from gunshot wounds to his head. He was rushed to Eden Medical Center where he died that evening.
“Witnesses reported seeing two male suspects, one was armed with a gun,” said Sheriff’s Sgt. Dave Dixon. “So far, we believe this crime occurred in conjunction with a robbery.” Investigators believe the two suspects fled the scene on foot. |
