A 51-year-old man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly dragging a homeless woman to her death with his pickup truck in Antioch.

Lucio Rivera-Avila of Brentwood was booked on suspicion of murder in the death of Shelly Baker, 47, police said.

The two had been sitting in the suspect's Nissan Frontier pickup truck in the parking lot of a produce store at 1725 Cavallo Road shortly before 1:50 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said. An argument erupted, and Baker got out of the truck, police Lt. Leonard Orman said.

Rivera-Aliva backed up, accelerated and hit Baker "very hard," dragging her about 50 to 75 feet, Orman said.

It was "clearly intentional" and was caught on a surveillance camera of a nearby business, Orman said.

Baker was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The pickup truck fled north on Cavallo. At about 8:45 a.m., police found a truck matching the description parked outside a drugstore on East 18th Street and arrested Rivera-Avila.

Rivera-Avila spent 36 days in jail and was placed on three years' probation after being convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a 1994 domestic-battery incident in San Francisco, Orman said.

Baker's death was the second homicide in Antioch in two days. Arlene Jefferson of Antioch was stabbed to death Monday morning in the parking lot of the Delta Fair Shopping Center. A suspect, Roy Carl Crites Jr., 56, was arrested.
