The California Highway Patrol’s Golden Gate Division Special Investigations Unit (SIU) recently arrested a suspect in connection with a freeway shooting on Interstate 80 that happened earlier this year.
Cameron Michael-Tanner Jones, 31, of Vacaville was taken into custody on Aug. 21 after investigators identified him with the help of Flock Safety cameras, the CHP said in a social media post.
According to investigators, on May 1, at about 5:55 p.m., officers from the CHP’s Solano Area responded to reports of a possible shooting on eastbound I-80, east of the Carquinez Bridge. The victim was not injured.
Special Investigations Unit detectives took over the investigation and, with help from Flock Safety cameras, identified Jones. On Aug. 21, at about 7 a.m., the Golden Gate Division’s Warrant Service Team arrested Jones at his Vacaville residence. Detectives also seized two firearms during a search of the home, the CHP said.
Officers booked Jones into the Solano County Jail on charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
“Hard work on the part of our detectives has led to yet another violent criminal in custody,” said CHP Golden Gate Division Chief Don Goodbrand. “I commend their unwavering dedication to tracking down those who chose to endanger drivers on our freeways and applaud them for their commitment to apprehending those who commit these terrible acts.”
