The Solano County District Attorney’s Office requested that a 17-year-old be tried as an adult in connection with a deadly attack at a Spirit Halloween store. The teen is accused of killing 31-year-old Constance Hages and her unborn child during the Oct. 30 incident.
Prosecutors charged the suspect with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. The indictment also includes three counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and several weapons enhancements. The district attorney’s press release confirmed the specific counts and the request for an adult trial.
The shooting occurred on Oct. 30 at the California location. Police reported that six other people were injured in the attack. As of Monday, four victims remained in the hospital. A 19-year-old man was listed in critical condition, while patients aged 16, 23, and 32 were in stable condition. Two other victims, aged 19 and 43, were treated and released.
Hages, who left behind four children, was the primary victim. Her family created a GoFundMe page to cover funeral expenses and support for the surviving children. The family described the situation on the platform, stating the loss left them trying to face a pain that words can barely hold.
The suspect made an initial appearance in juvenile court on Wednesday morning. He remains held without bail. The next scheduled court date has not been announced in the available reporting.
