Fatal Vallejo Shooting Victim Dropped Off At Ambulance Office: Police

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — A homicide investigation was under way Thursday in Vallejo after a man was found suffering from fatal gunshot wounds in front of a private business, Vallejo police said. At 1:12 p.m., prior to the victim being found in front of the Medic Ambulance building at 506 Couch Street, police had received reports of a shooting in the 100 block of Westwood Street, Vallejo police Lt. Michael Nichelini said.

Officers who responded to Westwood Street did not locate any suspects; however, a crime scene investigation was initiated when evidence of a shooting was found, police said.

Nichelini said it appeared someone drove the victim to the ambulance service's office instead of a hospital.

The ambulance office is in the vicinity of Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center — some 3 miles from Westwood Street where the shooting was reported.

Medical personnel treated the man but he was pronounced deceased at the scene, police said. His name was being withheld late Thursday afternoon.

Vallejo police are investigating the man's death as a murder; anyone with pertinent information is encouraged to contact Detective Terry Schillinger at 707-648-4278 or Detective Scott Yates at 707-648-4533.
