Vallejo Police Apprehend Juvenile Suspect in Connection with Homicide Case
In a recent development, the Vallejo Police Department (VPD) has successfully made an arrest in connection with a homicide that occurred on August 30. Through diligent investigative work, VPD Detectives were able to identify the responsible suspect as a juvenile. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was issued by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office for the juvenile in question.
The breakthrough in the case came on Wednesday when a vigilant detective spotted the wanted juvenile near the intersection of Ohio Street and Sutter Street. Following this sighting, patrol officers swiftly conducted a felony traffic stop, leading to the apprehension of the juvenile linked to the aforementioned homicide. Due to the suspect’s status as a minor, their identity has been kept confidential.
The incident that sparked the investigation took place on August 30 at around 5:35 p.m. when VPD officers attempted to pull over a Toyota Avalon near the intersection of Tennessee Street and Tuolumne Street. The Avalon had been flagged as the suspect vehicle in several armed robberies within Vallejo.
Despite the officers activating their emergency lights and siren, the driver of the Avalon failed to comply and instead initiated a pursuit. Concerns for public safety prompted the officers to call off the pursuit when the speeding vehicle disappeared eastbound in the 3300 block of Tennessee Street.
Just moments later, another police unit spotted the Avalon travelling at high speed on Springs Road near Mosswood Avenue, weaving recklessly through traffic. The situation took a tragic turn when the Avalon collided with two other vehicles at Springs Road and Tregaskis Avenue. Regrettably, the driver of one of the uninvolved vehicles sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Following the collision, the driver of the Avalon fled on foot, managing to evade capture. A subsequent search of the Avalon led to the discovery of a loaded firearm.
In light of these events, the VPD is urging anyone with pertinent information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. Detective Jordon Patzer and Detective Daniel Callison can be reached at (707) 648-4278 and (707) 648-4533, respectively, or via email at Jordon.Patzer@cityofvallejo.net and Daniel.Callison@cityofvallejo.net.
