On April 28, 2025, Giordano Cerletti, a 35-year-old white male from Vallejo, California, was found fatally shot on the 1300 block of North Camino Alto. Emergency responders arrived at approximately 6:08 a.m. following a report of an unresponsive person. Upon arrival, officers and paramedics discovered Cerletti with at least one gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Public records indicate that the shooting occurred at 2:53 a.m., coinciding with a 911 call reporting gunshots near a nearby apartment complex's pool. However, police did not respond to the scene until after the 6 a.m. call. The Vallejo Police Department's daily incident log includes a homicide at 2:53 a.m. but lacks an entry for the 6 a.m. call, suggesting a delayed response.
Cerletti's family has expressed deep concern over the delayed emergency response, questioning whether timely intervention could have saved his life. They have called for a thorough review of emergency response protocols to ensure greater accountability and equity in resource deployment across all neighborhoods.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with Cerletti's homicide. The Vallejo Police Department's Detective Division continues to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding the shooting. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Detective Jaleesa Bradshaw at 648-4524 or Detective Wesley Pittman at 334-1274.
