Vallejo Shooting: One Dead, Three Wounded as VPD Investigates 11th Homicide of the YearSource: Google Street View

In the early morning hours of June 23, a shooting in Vallejo left four individuals wounded, one of whom has now died, marking the city's 11th homicide of the year. According to the Vallejo Police Department (VPD), the incident occurred around 2:35 A.M. at Monterey Street and Springs Road. When patrol officers arrived at the scene, they found one adult male and one adult female with gunshot injuries, and shortly after, two more wounded men arrived at a local hospital connected to the same incident.

Detectives from the VPD took charge of the case as it transitioned from emergency response to an attempt at unraveling yet another thread in the tapestry of local crime. Nearly three weeks later, one of the male victims succumbed to his injuries, as informed by the Solano County Coroner's Office to the investigating officers last Thursday.

VPD's Detective Division continues to seek information that might provide closure to a case and a community in mourning. Detectives Jarrett Tonn and William Carpenter have been assigned to lead the ongoing examination, with the department urging anyone with details to step forward. The VPD has provided contact numbers for Detective Tonn at (707) 648-5427 or via email at Jar‍[email protected] and for Detective Carpenter at (707) 651-7146 or William.Car‍[email protected].

Public Information Officer Sgt. Rashad Hollis remains the point of contact for press-related inquiries and can be reached by email at VallejoPolice‌[email protected] or by phone at (707) 567-4233. As Vallejo confronts the aftermath of its latest homicide, the VPD continues to investigate the circumstances and search for those responsible for the late-night shooting that ended in tragedy.
