Pittsburg High senior killed in Antioch shooting days before graduation
Pittsburg High School Senior killed in drive-by shooting
Antioch police are investigating a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of an 18-year-old. Investigators said the victim was Pittsburg High School student Henry Granado Jr.
ANTIOCH, Calif. – Antioch police are investigating a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of an 18-year-old.
Investigators said the victim was Pittsburg High School student Henry Granado Jr., seen with a great big smile while posing for his senior photo.
“How could this happen?” Odera Okaka asked. “He was about to graduate. So close.”
More than 30 evidence markers lined the street for a block on Fourteenth Street, between Kengel and Macauly streets, where police said at around 6 o’clock Monday night, shots rang out.
Investigators could not confirm if anyone else was injured.
Okaka played on the high school football team with Granado and remembers him fondly.
“He just put a smile on people’s faces every day,” Okaka said. “It was always a good experience being around him, and he was just a great friend overall.”
The location where Granado was shot is on the same block where 17-year-old Anthony Westbrook was shot and killed right next to his twin brother in September 2022.
Neighbors are fed up with the violence.
“You just never know when this is going to happen or who it’s going to hit,” Rebekah Jackson said.
Justin LaVasse lives around the corner on D Street, or as the neighbors call it, ‘death row.’
He was gardening in the backyard when he heard the gunshots, grabbed the kids, and told them to get down on the ground.
“The first few times we heard gunshots, make sure everyone’s away from the windows,” LaVasse said. “You can’t block a bullet. A wall doesn’t even stop a bullet.”
He grew up in the house he lives in, but feels the neighborhood is no longer safe.
LaVasse is now considering moving to escape the crime and won’t even allow his kids to play in the front yard.
“Could’ve been them,” LaVasse said. “Could be my family that’s lost their son, and is mourning now, and their kid’s not going to, to walk the stage with all his peers.”
KTVU is in contact with Granado’s family, but they declined a request for an interview.
They say he was set to graduate this Thursday.
Antioch Police have not released any information on a possible suspect or a motive in the shooting.
They are hoping someone will step forward with information that could lead to an arrest.
This is the sixth homicide in Antioch this year.

Nearly a Century Old, This Sears House Kit Home in Fineview is Still Fine | Pittsburgh Magazine
Built in 1928, the hillside home is packed with original millwork, charming details and loads of storage.

When Alena Taylor Keefe was in elementary school, her family moved to 2035 Biggs Ave. in Pittsburgh’s Fineview neighborhood.
The year was 1975, and she recalls being delighted with the Craftsman-style home built from a Sears housing kit that her family would call theirs for the next 50 years.
“It’s a place that you can call home,” she says. “Some places you can’t really say that about, but it’s just such a great family home.”

Built in 1928, the house has three bedrooms and one bathroom packed into 1,500 square feet.
“I grump about the fact that there’s only one bathroom and the kitchen is small because I love to cook, but I still made it work for many family suppers,” Keefe says. “We hosted holiday dinners where we extended the dining table into the living room to accommodate everybody. It was just home.”

The first floor of the home has that small, yet functional kitchen, a nicely sized dining room and a large living room that spans the front of the home. Keefe warmly recalls coming down the front staircase on Christmas mornings and posing in formal dresses beside the steps before school dances. She says her family also enjoyed the long front porch that runs along the living room.
“My dad would come out and read the newspaper, and I’d be on the swing with my mom while she worked on her crochet,” she says.
On the second floor, three equally sized bedrooms share a hallway bathroom with double sinks. A set of pull-down stairs leads to ample storage under the eaves.

Now in their 80s, Keefe’s parents have moved to a maintenance-free home near Keefe’s current home in Beaver County, so they can continue to enjoy family dinners together, but without the responsibility of home ownership.
While Keefe is wistful about selling the home her parents carefully loved for half a century, she is certain a new buyer will recognize its charm and value.
“So much has never been touched,” she says. “There is original woodwork, an original fireplace that still has a coal chute to the outside and a lovely built-in China cabinet in the dining room.”

Keefe also touts the home’s plentiful storage; there’s a clean, dry basement, attic storage and a detached two-car garage with a lower level could be space for a workshop, studio or general storage.
Keefe notes the roof was replaced in the last decade; there also were updates to the HVAC, including adding air conditioning, and the family replaced the upstairs flooring in preparation to sell the carefully maintained home.

The house is now listed by Brian Larson of Howard Hanna for $245,000. He says it checks all the right boxes for a first-time homebuyer — or anyone shopping for a clean, well-maintained home.
“This is a home that has clearly been loved and lived in with care,” says Larson. “Over the years, attention has been given to maintaining and improving the property in a way that supports comfortable, everyday living. While no home of this era is ever ‘finished,’ per se, the overall condition reflects consistent stewardship rather than deferred maintenance.”

Larson says buyers should not have issues with financing for this home, including loans through the Federal Housing Administration or other specialized lending programs. Priced right around the city’s median home price, Larson encourages shoppers to check it out.
“Many first-time buyer programs are available that may offer down payment assistance and competitive interest rates, helping make homeownership more attainable for qualified buyers,” he says.
Larson adds that he loves the sun-soaked room that runs along the front of the home, as well as the wide front porch and the property’s proximity to Fineview Park.
“Fineview is also known as one of the best vantage points in the city for fireworks and skyline views,” he adds. “With convenient bus access and an easy commute to Downtown, the neighborhood offers a unique blend of tranquility, accessibility and city connection.”

Keefe says that while the neighbors have changed over the course of 50 years, her family has always been thankful for the close-knit Fineview community.
“There are some chickens running loose, but everybody up there is so kind,” she says with a laugh. “The mailman lives up on the corner; everybody knows everybody. It’s just so nice.”

17-year-old accused in deadly Kansas shooting
CRAWFORD COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating another deadly shooting involving a Kansas teen.
Just before 9p.m. Friday, police along with first responder units from Pittsburg Fire Department and Crawford County EMS, were dispatched to a shooting at Schlanger Park, 725 E 6th Street in Pittsburg, according to a media release. First responders found that an adult male had been shot and had subsequently died as a result of his injuries.
The victim, who was identified as 18-year-old Adam Basauri, of Girard, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Basauri’s body was sent to Kansas City for an autopsy.
The scene was secured and investigators with the Pittsburg Police Department responded to assist with the investigation. Witnesses on scene advised the suspect had fled the scene in a vehicle. Witnesses were transported to the police department to be interviewed while the search for the suspect was ongoing.
At approximately 9:46 p.m. the suspect and suspect’s vehicle were located in Arma, Kansas, by deputies with the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect, who was identified as a 17-year-old juvenile, was taken into custody and transported to the Pittsburg Police Department for questioning. The juvenile suspect’s vehicle was secured and towed to the Pittsburg Police Department to be processed.
After interviewing the witnesses’ investigators were able to determine that a brief altercation took place between Basauri and the juvenile suspect. During the altercation, the suspect shot Basauri.
As a result, the 17-year-old juvenile, of Pittsburg, was placed under arrest. Juvenile Intake responded and processed the juvenile suspect. The juvenile suspect was transported to the Southeast KS Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Girard. He is being held on a requested charge of murder in the second degree.
