Suspect Rebooked For Murder After Stabbing Victim Dies

SOLANO COUNTY, CA – One of two men who were stabbed during a domestic dispute last month has died, Solano County sheriff's officials said Thursday.

The stabbing happened Oct. 23 at a residence in the 5000 block of Fry Road in unincorporated Solano County just outside of Vacaville.

Sheriff's deputies found two men had been stabbed with a knife by a man who left the scene. He was identified as Kristopher Michael Williams, 32, of Vacaville.

Williams was involved in a custody disagreement with the family of one of the stabbing victims, and he entered the home without permission to take a 9-year-old girl whom he knew but to whom he was not related, according to the sheriff's office.

During the disagreement, a heated verbal and physical confrontation occurred, and Williams threatened to shoot the girl if she didn't go with him willingly, sheriff's officials said.

Williams allegedly stabbed the two men, one in the neck and one in the abdomen, and both men underwent surgery. Deputies found Williams at his home that evening. He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and was arraigned last Friday.

Sheriff's officials said one of the victims, Jonathan "Johnny" Russell, 30, of San Francisco, died Wednesday.

Williams was rebooked in Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder. He is being held under no bail, and is scheduled to appear Friday in court.
