FAIRFIELD, CA — The Solano County District Attorney on Tuesday announced charges against a teen suspected in a shooting over the weekend that left one dead and six injured at a mall in Fairfield.
Monte Smith, 17, was arrested Monday at his home in Suisun City in connection with a shooting Friday night at the Spirit Halloween store in Solano Town Center. Smith's arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday in Solano County juvenile court.
According to Fairfield police, shooting broke out inside the Halloween store about 8:30 p.m. Friday. A pregnant woman, 31-year-old Constance Hages, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Six others were wounded, all males, aged 43, 32, 23 and 16 and two 19-year-olds. One of the 19-year-olds was still hospitalized in critical condition on Monday, police said.
According to the district attorney, Smith is being charged with two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and multiple weapons charges. The district attorney also filed a petition to transfer Smith from juvenile court to adult court so he can be tried as an adult.
In a press conference Monday, Fairfield police said Smith was previously charged in connection with a shooting in a parking lot at Fairfield High School in September 2025. He served time in juvenile hall and was released.
