Overview

• Alexander Schumann, 24, was airlifted to a hospital and is in stable condition after being shot Friday evening in Vallejo.
• Police say they arrived on the 2000 block of Ascot Parkway for a vehicle-vandalism call and that Schumann advanced toward officers and pointed an apparent handgun.
• The object was later determined by police to be a pellet gun, and officers provided first aid before the medical transport.
• The Solano County Major Crimes Task Force is conducting the criminal investigation, with a city-hired independent administrative review and a departmental review board assessment planned, and a public town hall promised within two weeks.
• The incident comes as the Vallejo Police Department faces sustained scrutiny following prior shootings, including the 2019 killing of Willie McCoy and a $5 million settlement in 2024, and Schumann’s father told a local outlet his son had been homeless and voiced a desire to be shot earlier that day.
