I-80 Freeway Shooting: Hit-And-Run Investigation Leads To Arrest

VALLEJO, CA — An investigation into a Solano County hit-and-run crash led to the arrest of a Vallejo man in connection with a freeway shooting, the California Highway Patrol said Thursday in a news release.

The hit-and-run was reported around 6 p.m. Sunday on westbound Interstate Highway 80 west of Magazine Street, and when officers responded they found an abandoned car, CHP Officer David Harvey said.

The car was determined to be the target of a freeway shooting but its driver was nowhere to be found.

Video of the freeway shooting was captured by a third party and when detectives from the Golden Gate Division reviewed the footage they identified the suspect as 60-year-old Vallejo man Stoney Joseph Curtis, according to the CHP and Solano County jail records.

CHP served a search warrant Wednesday and took Curtis into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon (firearm) and shooting at an occupied vehicle.

A search of jail records Thursday evening showed Curtis was released on $100,000 bail.

CHP was still actively investigating the shooting Thursday.

"Any information from the public surrounding this shooting is appreciated," Harvey said. "If you or someone you know has information regarding this incident, please call the CHP Investigation Tip line at 707-917-4491."
