Clayton Sills was
shot and killed during his birthday weekend in
Antioch. He went out to pick up a pizza for his family but never returned.
"I had my fair share of three days straight of just crying," Sills' widow, Ariana Sills told KTVU on Monday.
It should have been a celebration for the family, because her husband had just turned 31. But two days after his birthday, the father of their two children was shot dead.
"I'm doing the best that I can not to fold for my kids," she said "My kids are taking it hard but, more than anything, my son. He's not eating. He's sleeping throughout the day. He's not talking to anyone."
On the night of May 1, her husband left their 9-year-old son's baseball game as it was ending, saying he planned to pick up a pizza. But she grew worried when she didn't come back after half an hour had passed.
She tracked his location to the 7-Eleven on Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch and drove over with her kids. They were shocked to find the store and gas station blocked off and surrounded by police.
"Both my kids saw my husband's car, the doors open, and a yellow bag over it. So they saw everything. There was no trying to hide it," she said.
