On January 15, 2024, at approximately 12:30 P.M., the Vallejo Police Department responded to a call of a shooting at Washington Park, in the area of El Dorado Street and Louisiana Street.
Upon arrival, officers discovered that a juvenile victim had been driven to a local hospital by a relative. It was determined that the juvenile had been shot in the face while being robbed at Washington Park. Hospital staff provided medical treatment and the juvenile was transferred to Oakland Children’s Hospital for further treatment and survived his injuries.
The Vallejo Police Department Detective Division ultimately took over this investigation. Detectives were able to identify the suspect who shot the victim and the evidence was presented to the Solano County District Attorney’s Office.
