Vallejo police on Wednesday released more detailed descriptions for two suspects sought in the fatal shooting of a pawn shop owner.

Timothy Pult, 49, was fatally shot around 3:10 p.m. on Dec. 20 at Pawn Advantage at 2581 Springs Road. A 45-year-old store employee also suffered serious injuries in the shooting and a dog was killed, police said.

Both suspects were described as men between 18 and 30 years old with light complexions. One was described as being about 6 feet tall with a thin build, while the other is about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium
build, according to police.

Police had said last week that the suspects were both wearing dark hooded sweatshirts.

The Sacramento-based California Pawnbrokers Association announced Wednesday that its members are offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

The association launched a crowdfunding page for the reward effort, entitled Justice for Timothy Pult.

"Every day spent on this earth, Tim lived his life with unbounded love for his family and passion for his career," the pawnbrokers association states on the page. "Please help us memorialize his life by supporting the Pult family. All donations to this page will fund a reward for the capture of the two individuals responsible for this senseless crime, and will help ensure they are brought to justice."

Another online fundraiser is also underway for the support of the victim's wife and children, called The Tim Pult Memorial Fund. To date, $37,386 has been raised toward the $75,000 goal.

"Tim Pult was a tireless volunteer and contributor to the community he loved," the page reads. "He gave countless hours supporting St. Rita's school & parish, West Marin Little League and many other causes. He was incredibly unselfish in giving his time and energy in the service of others.

"Tim was a dedicated and loving husband to Tina and Dad to Kyle and Rebecca. Please consider making a donation to support his family in this time of need."

Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to contact Detective Scott Yates at (707) 648-4533 or Detective Terry Schillinger at (707) 648-4278. People can also provide information anonymously to the Solano Crime Stoppers tip line at (707) 644-STOP.
