Multiple law enforcement agencies joined forces in Vallejo to try and capture suspects in two home invasions in the Santa Rosa area that resulted in one homicide on Thursday morning.

Vallejo police captured three of the suspects on Thursday morning after a protracted and dangerous chase, a spokesperson for the Sonoma Sheriff’s Office said.

Police reported that two separate homes were entered forcefully and the subjects were robbed. What exactly was taken has not yet been confirmed, but Sergeant Spencer Crum said that guns were taken from at least one location. One subject at each location was shot, and the subject in the second home was killed.

After the home invasion robberies, a description of the van used in the alleged crimes was released to law enforcement all over Northern California and the vehicle was eventually spotted in Vallejo, Crum said.

The van led police on a high-speed pursuit, running red lights and eventually crashing into another car which slammed into a fire hydrant on Redwood Avenue, Crum said.

Five suspects fled from the vehicle and three have been taken into custody at press time.

Two suspects had yet to be located at press time.

A SWAT team and helicopter unit were initially used to try and locate the homicide suspects and Vallejo police set up a perimeter around the area where they fled, but the operation was eventually ended when nothing turned up.

The remaining suspects are at large and it’s possible that they are armed and dangerous, Crum said. Several guns could be seen inside the crashed van and Crum said that guns were taken in the robberies.

A spokesperson for the Sonoma Sheriff’s Department said they are pursuing other leads to try and identify and locate the suspects.

The first robbery occurred around 4:20 a.m. in an unincorporated area near Santa Rosa in the 1900 block of Fulton Road. An unknown number of suspects gained entry to a house and shot on occupant. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive, Crum said.

The second invasion happened at 6:45 a.m. on the 3600 block of Melcon Lane off Todd Road in the Roseland area.

At the second location, occupants were tied up and one person was shot and killed.

Crum said that one home had “evidence of marijuana growing,” but no motive is known yet in the robberies.

The FBI is also reportedly investigating the incident, Crum said.
