During the course of the investigation into the deadly shooting that occurred at the 24-Hour Fitness in Brentwood on Thursday, August 11, 2022, at approximately 1:54 a.m., Brentwood Police investigators positively identified 20-year-old Pittsburg resident Faatino Arona Tauane as the second shooter in this case.
On Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at approximately 4:45 a.m., Tauane was peacefully taken into custody at a home in the 900 block of Myrtlewood Drive in Antioch. He was later booked at the Martinez Detention Facility for murder. To date, one firearm has been recovered and the vehicle Tauane used to flee the scene is now in police custody. A second firearm used in the shooting remains outstanding.
On Friday, August 26, 2022, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office charged Tauane with one count of murder with enhancements and additional felonies.
On Thursday, August 11, 2022, the first of two suspects detained during the early stages of the investigation had been positively identified as one of the shooters who was wounded during the altercation. The suspect, a 17-year-old Brentwood resident was booked into the Contra Costa County Juvenile Detention Center for murder. His name is being withheld due to age. The second suspect was released from police custody after it was determined he was not a shooter.
The decedent has been identified as, 21-year-old Antioch resident, Cesar Arana. Our hearts go out to the family and friends impacted by his untimely death.
Arana was an innocent bystander not involved in the initial altercation. He was struck by gunfire while trying to help a person who had fallen to the ground during a physical fight outside.
Additionally, our agency would like to thank those who came forward with additional video footage and the staff at 24 Hour Fitness for their full cooperation throughout the entire investigation.
According to localcrimenews.com, Tauane was also arrested by Pittsburg Police in December 2021, for carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle and when not the registered owner.
Anyone with information regarding the outstanding firearm or any additional information related to this investigation is asked to contact Detective Greene at 925-809-7797.

December 2022?
Good catch!
It’s been corrected.
Thanks.
Being a victim of financial fraud with investigations blocked by DA Mark Peterson for over 20 years. Part of my story leads to the Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce (CNET Scandal) to the arrest of Police Officers.
Those officers entered my house, put me in custody, stole my coin collection, and later arranged an arson murder for my life insurance and inheritance.
Sadly, today there is a long list of witnesses killed in nearly every city or town in Contra Costa County. The legacy of DA Peterson and prior DA’s is theft, incompetence.
I am working on revising my blogs if I live long enough to get past the daily death threats.
