VALLEJO, Calif. -- A week of serious violent crime in Vallejo continued Friday night and Saturday morning with one fatal shooting and three stabbings, according to Vallejo Police.
At about 12:50 a.m. Saturday morning, Vallejo police dispatch received a 911 call from Parkway Liquors at 1601 Lewis Brown Road Store employees told police someone had been shot.
An officer went to the liquor store and found Marico Whitemon, 36, in front of the store. He had been shot multiple times.
The officer administered first aid. Medical personnel arrived and then the Vallejo man was transported to a hospital in Walnut Creek, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Police don't know the motive for the shooting.
The suspect was described as being between 25 and 30 years old and about 5 foot 5 inches tall. He weighs around 150 pounds and was wearing dark clothing and a beanie.
Later, officers were dispatched to the 100 block of Coloma Way on a report of a stabbing at about 1 a.m. No victims were found.
A short time later, officers stopped a vehicle on Sonoma Boulevard at Lewis Brown Road. Two people, Monette Boniafacio, 25, and 20 year-old Russell Sevilla, were inside with stab wounds, according to police. Both people were transported to a local hospital.
A third victim, Valentino Abasolo, 21, walked himself to a hospital.
The spate of violent crime comes after two high profile cases made headlines this week -- the shooting of a ice cream truck driver by a juvenile and the severe beating of a city street worker by an estimated 40 Vallejo High School students. In both cases, Vallejo Police have identified and arrested suspects.
Anyone with information about the stabbings was asked to call Detective John Whitney at (707) 651-7105 or (800) 488-9383.
