Teen Charged With Murder in Spirit Halloween Shooting

Solano County District Attorney’s Office officials announced charges against a 17-year-old suspect in a shooting at a Spirit Halloween store. The incident occurred on October 30. The teen is accused of killing 31-year-old Constance Hages and her unborn child.

The office filed two counts of murder against the suspect. Three counts of attempted murder were also included. Prosecutors added three counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Several weapons enhancements accompanied the charges. The office requested that the teen be tried as an adult.

Six other people were injured in the attack. As of Monday, four victims remained in the hospital. A 19-year-old man is in critical condition. Three other victims, ages 16, 23, and 32, are listed in stable condition. Two additional victims, ages 19 and 43, were treated and released.

Constance Hages was a mother of four. Her family created a GoFundMe page to cover funeral expenses and support her children. The family wrote, “This heartbreaking loss has left behind four children, grieving parents, and a family trying to face a pain that words can barely hold.”

The suspect made an initial appearance in juvenile court on Wednesday morning. He remains held without bail.
