Solano County prosecutors have asked a court to try a 17-year-old as an adult following a fatal shooting at a Spirit Halloween store.
The District Attorney's Office filed charges against the teen on Wednesday. The indictment includes two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors also charged the defendant with three counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Several weapons enhancements accompany the primary counts.
The incident occurred on October 30. It killed Constance Hages, 31, and her unborn child. Hages was the mother of four. Six other people sustained injuries during the attack. As of Monday, four victims remained in the hospital. A 19-year-old man is in critical condition. Three others, aged 16, 23, and 32, are in stable condition. Two victims, aged 19 and 43, were treated and discharged.
The family of the deceased requested financial support through a fundraising page. They cited the need to cover funeral expenses and provide for the surviving children. "This heartbreaking loss has left behind four children, grieving parents, and a family trying to face a pain that words can barely hold," the family wrote.
The defendant appeared in juvenile court on Wednesday morning. He remains in custody without bail.
