OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/22/2023, California Highway Patrol officers tried to stop a white Hyundai traveling eastbound on I-80 east of American Canyon Road after it was reported stolen in connection with a Vallejo carjacking the night before. Police escalated a chase and the Hyundai exited at Suisun Valley Road at a high rate of speed, then rolled over on the off ramp in a solo crash. Jackari Taylor, 18, of Vallejo was identified by the Solano County District Attorney as the driver and he died at the scene. In the days after the crash, the district attorney tied the vehicle’s occupants to a larger sequence of reported events that began with a Fairfield shooting where the victim said he met up with the teen girl who later died in the crash and believed he was being set up, then said two masked males shot him in the back, leaving him paralyzed. The district attorney also said guns were recovered in the crash wreckage and released images of firearms while describing the case as a major public interest incident.
