VALLEJO – With just a month left in 2020, the city of Vallejo recorded its 29th homicide of the year when a 20-year-old Sacramento man was shot and killed in north Vallejo over the weekend, the Vallejo Police Department announced on Monday.
Vallejo police said they received reports of a shooting at about 9:02 p.m. Saturday night in the 100 block of Simonton St. Arriving officers found that a shooting had taken place but no victim.
Officers later discovered that the victim had been driven to a local hospital by friends. He suffered at least one gunshot wound, later dying from his injuries at about 1:20 a.m. Sunday morning.
Police are withholding the victim’s name pending notification of his family.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Det. Terry Schillinger at (707) 648-4278 or Det. Brian Murphy at (707) 648-5430.
Also on Monday, the department announced that a 21-year-old Richmond woman shot on Nov. 12, died from her wounds the following day. Police responded to reports of shots fired at about 5:36 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the 3600 block of Georgia Street.
Police received more reports regarding the shooting that the woman was located in the 100 block of Cottonwood Drive.
