Walnut Creek police arrested a man wanted in Antioch for the killing of a man found fatally shot in his car last month. 

Jacob Crooks had a warrant out for his arrest when Walnut Creek police pulled him over Monday. Officers arrested Crooks and booked him into Martinez Detention Facility on suspicion of murder. 

Frank James, 36, was initially found dead from a gunshot by Contra Costa County firefighters, who called Antioch police at 5:22 a.m. on March 27. James was found in the 600 block of East 18th Street.  

Antioch police said detectives used “hi-tech tools and city cameras” to identify Crooks as the suspect in the killing.
