Man out on bail arrested in Vallejo homicide investigation, police say
A suspect was arrested in connection with the Vallejo deadly shooting earlier this month, police said on Friday. In the early morning hours on July 5, police said they found a woman unconscious on the 400 block of Admiral Callaghan Lane. Medics arrived and found that she had been shot. She was then transported to the local hospital, where she later died, police said. Vallejo detectives identified the suspect as 42-year-old Jose Guadalupe Castillo of Vallejo, who police said was out on bail after he was arrested in early May for willfully discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner and for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Police found Castillo on Admiral Callaghan Lane after police said he walked into a convenience store to evade them, but officers were able to arrest him inside the store without further incident. They located a firearm with an extended magazine in the aisle where Castillo had been prior, police said. He was booked into jail for being a felon in possession of a firearm, police said. On Friday, Solano County prosecutors reviewed evidence, eventually charging Castillo with second-degree murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, being a felon in possession of a firearm and committing a felony while out on bail. Vallejo police said they were seeking information about a possible road rage incident that potentially occurred before the victim was found.

2 arrested with guns near high school graduation in Vallejo, police say
Two people, including a juvenile, were arrested after police said they were found with handguns near a high school graduation ceremony in Vallejo last week. Police said in a statement Friday that officers responded to a report of a male with a handgun near the 800 block of Nebraska Street during a graduation ceremony on June 13. According to the Vallejo City Unified School District, the graduation for Jesse Bethel High School was taking place that day at Corbus Field on the Vallejo High School campus. Witnesses told police about a group of six males dressed in red, black and gray, one of whom was carrying a firearm. As officers who were working at the ceremony located the group, two males separated themselves and walked towards Hanns Avenue and Bella Vista Way. Additional officers arrived at the scene and found the two males sitting near a parked car. Officers then conducted what was described as a "high-risk detention" and the males were detained without incident. Police said they discovered a loaded firearm in the waistband of one of the suspects, which a records check determined to be stolen out of Yuba County. A loaded, unserialized firearm was found in the backpack of a second suspect. Two handguns that Vallejo Police said were found on two people near the graduation ceremony for Jesse Bethel High School on June 13, 2025. Vallejo Police Department A records check also determined the second suspect was a juvenile. The other four males were released from the scene, police said. The graduation ceremony proceeded as planned. "Graduations are milestones for students, families, and our city; these moments deserve to be celebrated without disruption," police said in a statement. The first suspect was booked into the Solano County Jail, while the second suspect was booked into the Solano County Juvenile Detention Facility. Police did not release the adult suspect's name.

Vallejo police investigating a triple-shooting at encampment that left 2 dead and 1 injured
The Brief Two men where killed in a shooting in Vallejo on Monday. A third man was taken to the hospital in life-threatening condition. Residents say there are 30 to 50 people living at this RV-tent encampment. Police say this marks Vallejo's fifth and sixth homicides this year. VALLEJO, Calif. - The Vallejo Police Department say they got multiple calls at around 5:30 p.m. on Monday about a shooting near the intersection of Sacramento Street and Daniels Avenue, where three people were found shot at an RV and tent encampment. What we know Video shows officers with a SWAT team entering the encampment nearby. "Because we didn't know the specific location, and where the suspect was, we crossed all our t's and dotted all our i's," Sgt. Rashad Hollis, a Vallejo Police Department spokesperson. Sgt. Hollis says when officers entered the encampment they found three people had been shot. "They discovered there were three adult male victims, all suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Officers immediately rendered medical aid until emergency medical services arrived," Sgt. Hollis said. Two of the men were pronounced dead at the scene. The third man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police say they're still trying to identify whether those men or someone else fired the shots. What they're saying On Tuesday, some residents at the encampment shared their thoughts, but did not want to be shown on camera. A few said they heard the gunfire and saw police respond. "Told us to hold back while they check on who was a victim and who was not," said a man who said his name is Oscar. "There was a body, and I was kind of shocked." Some of the residents say there are 30-50 people who live in the RV and tent encampment. Many say they are worried about safety. Some said they need help because the encampment residents have no water or cell phones, and there are frequent fires to which the fire department often does not respond. One woman said many of the residents have tried to get help from the city, but have not been able to get into motel rooms or other assisted shelter and housing site programs. "We filled out applications, but we didn't get none of that. If we would have got into that program, we could take a shower, do what we need to do," said a woman Maria who said she would gladly move into a shelter room or motel. Neighbors say the city needs to do more. "They have a navigation center that they're trying to get open. It was supposed to open in January, but it doesn't have an open date yet. And then they have the Broadway housing project which is a more permanent housing project they're working on," Steve Sidle, a board member who lives nearby and is a board member with the Vallejo Heights Neighborhood Association. Police say this was Vallejo's fifth and sixth homicides this year. "We're still in the prelim of this investigation. The motive and circumstances are still undetermined at this time," Sgt. Hollis said. Sgt. Hollis says police are increasing patrols in the area and doing outreach by going door-to-door in neighborhoods near the shooting scene. KTVU reached out to Mayor Andrea Sorce and Vice-Mayor Peter Bregenzer, but did not receive a reply Tuesday. The Solano County Coroner's office said Tuesday that they have identified the two men who died, but have not yet notified their next of kin, so are not releasing the names.
