Overview
- Late last month police responded to three linked shootings in Vallejo, including an earlier attack where a person was shot at but not injured and two later scenes where victims were found unresponsive and pronounced dead.
- Investigators say one homicide occurred at an encampment on the 3900 block of Sonoma Boulevard and the other in a parking lot on the 3200 block of Sonoma Boulevard.
- Police identified 30-year-old Angel Castillo Ramirez after a witness named and located him, and officers arrested him without incident while he was walking on Enterprise Drive.
- Authorities say Ramirez was advised of his Miranda rights, admitted to the two killings and the earlier shooting when questioned, and was booked into the Solano County Jail on suspicion of two counts of murder and an assault with a firearm.
- The case remains active as a recovered gun is undergoing forensic examination and detectives work to corroborate evidence while the city now records its ninth homicide of 2026, a fact likely to intensify local concerns about public safety and homelessness.
