A suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that occurred last month on Sunset Avenue in Suisun City, as reported by the Suisun City Police Department. On September 17, police responded to calls of gunfire in the 800 block of this residential area at approximately 8:15 PM. A 23-year-old gunshot victim, whose identity has not been released, was transported to the hospital following the incident.
The Suisun City Police Department has since apprehended 24-year-old Shaheed James, a resident of Suisun City, linking him to the act of violence. According to a social media post from the Suisun City Police Department, James was on parole from the state of Nevada at the time of his arrest today. The regional law enforcement, including the US Marshalls, played a role in the locating and arrest of James, which occurred without incident. He is currently facing charges of attempted murder, firing into an inhabited dwelling, and violation of parole.
Further details regarding how the events unfolded were shared by Hoodline, specifying that the suspect allegedly accosted the victim in a store, unleashing multiple rounds both inside and outside of the premises. "The suspect produced a handgun and pursued the victim firing multiple rounds inside and outside of the business," described the Suisun City Police Department in their account of the sequence of events that led up to the shooting.
James is now in custody and has been booked into the Solano County Jail. The Suisun City Police Department's Investigations Unit continues to probe the case and has not released any further information. They have, however, requested that anyone with knowledge of the shooting should come forward. Tips can be directed to the Investigations Unit at 707-421-7373.
