Two Dead In Fairfield Apartment Shooting
FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) ― Police are searching for a 50-year-old Fairfield man suspected of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend.
Police say Ricardo Martinez Deleon killed the two at an apartment complex in Fairfield around 1:15 a.m. Friday. The victims' names have not been released.
Police were called around 6:15 p.m. Friday to investigate a disturbance at the complex. Witnesses told officers Deleon had been arguing with his ex-girlfriend in the parking lot, but the woman's family was able to convince him to leave.
Fairfield police Lt. Greg Hurlbut said investigators determined that Deleon later returned and waited for the victims.
Police say Deleon -- who is of medium height and build with brown hair and eyes -- may be driving a late 1970s or early 1980s white van with a blue stripe.
