OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/22/2023, California Highway Patrol officers tried to stop a white Hyundai on eastbound 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. The Solano County District Attorney later said the driver was 18 year old Jackari Taylor of Vallejo and said a male minor passenger died at the scene. After the crash, the district attorney publicly connected the crash occupants to reported events earlier that night in Fairfield involving a shooting victim who said he met up with the teen girl who later died in the crash, said he believed he was being set up, and said two masked males shot him in the back, leaving him paralyzed. The district attorney also said firearms were recovered from the crash wreckage and released images while describing the investigation as a high public interest case.
