Suspect sought in Vallejo park killing

Police are searching for a suspect who gunned a man down on a hiking trail at a Vallejo park, authorities said.

Around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, several neighbors called police after hearing gunshots coming from Hanns Park along Redwood Parkway in a residential area in east Vallejo, said Lt. Kevin Bartlett, a Vallejo police spokesman.

Officers responded to the scene and found the victim, a man in his 20s, dead from multiple gunshot wounds, Bartlett said. Authorities have not identified a suspect and continue to investigate the killing.

Bartlett said police identified the victim but are not releasing his name.

Anyone with information about the slaying was asked to call Vallejo police Detective Sgt. Steve Cheatham at (707) 679-7700.
