Antioch, CA – On the afternoon of Friday, January 23, 2026, 17-year-old Jean Flores was killed in a hit-and-run collision after being struck by a vehicle and left on the side of the road, according to KRON.
Antioch Police report that Flores was found around 3:30 PM on L Street between West 18th Street and West 10th Street, near Antioch High School. An autopsy later determined that she died after being hit by a vehicle. Authorities noted that Flores was not a student at the nearby high school.
On Tuesday afternoon, February 3, 2026, Antioch police announced the arrest of 26-year-old Jamir Wilson in connection with the fatal hit-and-run. Investigators executed search warrants at residences in Antioch and Pittsburg, where evidence related to the case was recovered. Wilson was arrested without incident on suspicion of hit-and-run causing death.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing, and the case is expected to be submitted to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office later this week. Bail for Wilson was set at $150,000.
Wrongful Death Claims
Even if a fatal accident doesn’t lead to criminal charges, families who lose a loved one can still file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide support to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income.
California Hit-and-Run Laws
California Law requires drivers involved in a collision to stop their vehicle, notify law enforcement, and exchange insurance information with others involved. Failure to do so, considered to be a “hit-and-run,” is a misdemeanor in cases of property damage and a felony when someone has been injured.
