VALLEJO, Calif. - A 30-year-old Vallejo man accused of shooting and killing two people in separate shootings in Vallejo over the past week was arrested on Saturday.
The shootings
What we know:
Angel Castillo Ramirez was allegedly identified by a witness as the man responsible for shooting a person at an encampment in the 3900 block of Sonoma Boulevard on Tuesday and another person in a parking lot about three-quarters of a mile down the road on Saturday, according to the Vallejo Police Department.
Police first responded to a shooting in the area Tuesday just after 8 p.m., when a man told officers someone shot at him in the 1400 block of Enterprise Street before fleeing. The victim was not injured in that shooting.
But shortly afterward, at 10:30 p.m., police were called to a nearby encampment in the 3900 block of Sonoma Boulevard, after a person was allegedly found dead in a tent from a gunshot wound.
On Saturday at about 9:15 a.m., Vallejo police officers again responded to a shooting in the area, this time in the 3200 block of Sonoma Boulevard, which is also state Highway 29.
A man who was shot in a parking lot was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, police said.
