Vallejo Man Suspected Of Shooting Woman Is Arrested

VALLEJO, CA - The Solano County Sheriff's Office arrested a Vallejo man on suspicion of shooting a woman during a civil dispute early Tuesday morning, a sheriff's deputy said.

The sheriff's office received a call around 12:30 a.m. about a dispute in the 300 block of Thomas Avenue in unincorporated Solano County located within Vallejo city limits, Deputy Christine Castillo said.

The 48-year-old woman was found with two life-threatening gunshot wounds and was taken to a trauma center where she is in stable condition, Castillo said. Witnesses identified Lawrence Bailey, 56, of Vallejo as the suspected shooter, Castillo said.

Deputies found Bailey in a vehicle during a traffic stop around 7 a.m. on Redwood Parkway. He and the driver, Delvon Bailey, 21, of Sacramento, were taken into custody, Castillo said.

Lawrence Bailey was booked in the Solano County Jail for attempted murder, being a felon in possession of a concealed firearm and possession of ammunition. A gun found in the car will be tested to determine if it was used in the shooting, Castillo said.

Delvon Bailey, Lawrence's nephew, was booked for vehicle theft and being an accessory to attempted murder after the fact, Castillo said.

Sheriff's detectives believe the shooting was not random but involved a dispute between Lawrence Bailey and the victim, Castillo said.
