Vallejo Man Arrested in Connection With Two Fatal Shootings

Terrell Elbert Blutcher Jr. faces two murder charges tied to the shootings, which took place in Vallejo, police said. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant on November 5 before officers detained him following a high-risk vehicle stop at the Broadway-Tennessee intersection.

The first shooting was reported around 8 a.m. near Springs Road and Castlewood Drive. Police found a man with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle that had crashed into an unoccupied car. He died at a hospital on October 12, six days after the shooting.

About 20 minutes after the first incident, officers responded to a report of another shooting in the 200 block of a Vallejo street. They found a second man with a gunshot wound and took him to a hospital, where he died. The second victim was identified by relatives as 32-year-old Devaughn McBride, who worked for the U.S. Postal Service.

Blutcher was also taken into custody under a Napa County warrant alleging he possessed a controlled substance. Police said the two shootings appeared to be isolated incidents.
