after body discovered in Solano

Deputies and detectives arrived at the scene to investigate. The remains were of a man who had severe head and facial injuries and burns over much of his body. He was originally listed as a John Doe. Later detectives were able to identify him as Theodore Washington, 35, Sacramento. Using Flock Safety cameras, detectives were able to identify a vehicle that was suspected to be involved in the death. Later that night, the vehicle was located and stopped by West Sacramento Police and Solano County Sheriff’s detectives responded to that car stop. They contacted a man and woman inside the car. The two were interviewed. Investigators determined that the woman had a relationship with the victim. Days earlier, the man and woman lured the victim to a location in West Sacramento and allegedly committed the murder. They waited for four days and then attempted to discard the victim’s body.

The suspects have been identified as Wendy Warren, 38, and Emmanuel Justin,39, both of West Sacramento. They were arrested, charged with murder and were booked into Solano County Jail. Both are being held on $2 million bail and is due in court 1:30 p.m. April 10.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Solano County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Bureau at (707) 784-7050.

“California parks are truly remarkable places, in part because of the hundreds of volunteers and nonprofit groups who devote their time and effort into making them great,” Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, said in a statement. “My proposal would allow these vital partnerships to continue, ensuring our parks are sustainable and the best they can be for generations to come.”

The prior authorization for such partnerships ends Jan. 1, 2025. Senate Bill 668 was one of three bills written by Dodd that passed committee reviews.

A bill that would notify drivers when images are gathered by in-vehicle cameras, “and prohibit those images from being sold to third parties or for advertising purposes,” passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and next heads to the Appropriations Committee. SB 296 is supported by Consumer Federation of

California.

Finally, SB 295, “which would improve traffic safety in the use of personal transportation devices such as electric scooters, hoverboards and Segways on university campuses,” advanced Tuesday from the Senate Transportation Committee Tuesday. It too heads to Appropriations.

“With committee passage of this bill, we’ve taken a positive step toward expanding the authority of public colleges to set commonsense rules and regulations that will keep our communities safe,” Dodd said in a statement. “It will help us address emerging technology, which has brought new forms of risk from electric devices that travel at high speeds and operate silently, providing little to no warning to pedestrians and motorists.”

Nighttime Highway 12 road work scheduled

RIO VISTA —

One-way traffic controls will be in place nightly, from Monday through Friday, as Caltrans crews fill potholes and complete pavement repairs on Highway 12 between Drouin Drive and the Rio Vista bridge.

The work each day begins at 8 p.m. and continues through 4 a.m., the state Department of Transportation reported.

“During one-way traffic controls, crews will temporarily close one traffic direction of either eastbound or westbound (Highway 12) for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time,” Caltrans said. Flaggers will be on scene to direct traffic. The CHP will be in the area as well.

The council opted not to move forward with candidate Katrina Garcia. The meeting lasted almost six hours, with a great deal of time dedicated to the issue. As the clock neared 1 a.m., the council voted unanimously to delay the decision.

All council members, except Hernandez, are new to the dais.

On the consent calendar is the disposition of two properties, Cal Marine Sports and the Lawler House.

In December 2021, the city issued notices of availability on the properties to various public agencies and housing sponsors. Cal Marine received no interest on the property. Lawler House received interest from one affordable housing developer in acquiring it but an offer was not made in the 90-day negotiation period.

The city asked the state of California Department of Housing and Community Development for permission to sell the land on the open market. Letters were issued in April 2022 and December 2022 determining that the city has met all the requirements under the act for disposing of Cal Marine and Lawler House, and can offer the properties for sale to the general public with one caveat.

Prior to offering the properties for sale to the public, the city must record a deed restriction, as approved by HCD, restricting 15% of any residential units built on the each property to be affordable units if 10 or more residential units are built on the property.

The council will gather for a closed session at 5 p.m. for labor negotiations.

The general meeting begins after the closed session at 701 Civic Center Blvd. The complete agenda is on the city’s website, suisun.com.

FAIRFIELD — Curbside delivery of cannabis will be debated at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

Slated for a public hearing and first reading, the amendment proposes to implement a recent change in state regulations that eliminated the prohibition of curbside delivery.

Three years ago, the city established local regulations for the manufacture and retail sale of cannabis products. State regulations in effect at the time prohibited storefront businesses the sale or delivery of cannabis products to customers in motor vehicles.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, state rules were temporarily suspended, allowing for curbside delivery. The suspension allowed customers to park outside the store and have their cannabis purchases brought to them in their vehicle. Last year, the state’s Department of Cannabis Control reviewed the rule prohibiting delivery to customers in their cars parked outside a store. It was determined that such delivery had not caused any problems
