A man who was shot in a parking lot was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, police said.
Ramirez was allegedly identified as a suspect during the investigation by the Vallejo Police Department, including by a witness who provided his location to police on Saturday, according to a statement from the Police Department.
The Solano County Public Defender's Office did not immediately respond to a request sent Sunday on whether its attorneys would be representing Ramirez, who police said was unhoused.
He was arrested at about 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of Enterprise Street without incident and booked into Solano County Jail on multiple allegations, including two counts of homicide and an allegation of assault with a deadly weapon for the earlier shooting.
A firearm was allegedly found during the arrest.
The victims' identities were being withheld pending notification of their next of kin by the Solano County Coroner's Office.
Their deaths marked the eighth and ninth homicides in Vallejo in 2026.
