Vallejo's 12th Homicide
Last night, my mom, brother, and I decided to take our dog for a walk. We had a good walk and ended up at my aunt’s house to visit and we ate dinner there. It was almost completely dark so we decided to leave to walk back home. The whole way home, all we heard were sirens and a helicopter flying around where my house was with its search light going insane. We knew they were looking for someone, but we didn’t know what happened. Turns out, Vallejo just had its 12th homicide. Someone got shot on a popular intersection while he was in his SUV. Apparently, a bunch of cars fled the scene and even a man was seen running away, so the search light we were seeing in the sky meant they were looking for whoever did it. That popular intersection also happens to be a couple blocks from my house. My dad had just left that area before this all happened. It really sucks cuz Vallejo has been the home of some great friendships, laughs, adventures, and even inspiration. So damn bittersweet. smh.
