Police Department detectives, along with the Solano County Sheriff’s Coroner’s Office, were unable to immediately determine the cause of death at the scene due to “the condition of the body and exposure to the elements.”
On Wednesday, after further examination, the coroner determined that the man was shot at least once, according to police. The identity of the man is being withheld pending the notification of next of kin.
The circumstances surrounding the man’s death remain under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Stephanie Diaz at 707-648-5430 or [email protected]. Anonymous tips can be made to 1-800-488-9383.
