Burned body with gunshot wounds found in Solano County; two arrested

(KRON) — Two Vallejo residents are in custody and face murder charges in connection to a burned body found on Cherry Glen Road in Vacaville on April 13.

During the investigation, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office found multiple gunshot wounds in the victim’s body and ruled the case a homicide. The alleged murder victim was later identified as Adam Muela of Bay Point.

On April 22, investigators arrested 52-year-old Clifton Summerise and 42-year-old Maria DeLeon, both of Vallejo, for Muela’s death.

“Both were arrested without incident and booked into the Solano County Jail on numerous charges, to include murder and robbery,” the Solano County Sheriff’s Office said.

The motive for the crime and circumstances surrounding Muela’s death remain under investigation, Solano County Sheriff Thomas Ferrara said. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact investigators.

“Our team worked tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice,” Ferrara said. “We are committed to ensuring the safety of our community and will continue to pursue all leads in this case.”
