VALLEJO, CA -The Vallejo Police Department invites you to attend a Community Town Hall meeting on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at Jesse Bethel High School (Student Union Cafeteria), located at 1800 Ascot Parkway, Vallejo, CA. The department is hosting this meeting to address the recent officer-involved shooting that occurred on August 29, 2025.
On August 29, at approximately 6:01 p.m., officers from the Vallejo Police Department responded to a report of possible vandalism to a vehicle in the 2000 block of Ascot Parkway. They were informed that the subject involved was wanted on several outstanding felony and misdemeanor warrants.
Upon arrival, the officers located the subject, who immediately walked towards them and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at them, resulting in an officer-involved shooting. Officers immediately rendered medical aid, and the subject was transported to an area hospital via helicopter, where he remains in stable condition. The weapon located at the scene was later determined to be a pellet/BB gun.
This is an active and ongoing investigation. The Solano County Major Crimes Task Force responded to the scene and has assumed responsibility for the criminal investigation. The City of Vallejo has retained an independent investigator to initiate an administrative investigation into this incident. In addition, a Vallejo Police Department Critical Incident Review Board (CIRB) will be convened to evaluate this incident and conduct a comprehensive review of the department’s tactics, training, supervision, equipment, and after-action response.
The subject involved has been identified as Alexander Schumann, a 24-year-old biracial male and a resident of Vallejo.
Officer Daniel Saravia, badge #759, and Officer Himanshu Saini, badge #760, were involved in this shooting. Both officers had been with the department for three years and were assigned to the Patrol Division at the time of the incident. Immediately following the event, Officers Saravia and Saini were placed on administrative leave per department policy.
The Vallejo Police Department is hosting this town hall meeting to provide maximum transparency and inform the public about the incident as well as the internal processes initiated after an officer-involved shooting. These processes include the responsibility of the Solano County Major Crimes Task Force, the role of the independent investigator conducting the administrative investigation, and our internal CIRB.
We encourage Vallejo community members and stakeholders to attend this town hall. We look forward to hearing your questions and concerns and engaging with you.
