Fairfield Mall Shooting Leaves One Dead and Six Injured at Spirit Halloween Store

A Friday night shooting inside a Spirit Halloween store at the Solano Town Center in Fairfield left one woman dead and six other people injured, according to local police. Investigators stated that the violence erupted around 8:30 p.m., stemming from a targeted incident involving a suspect inside the seasonal store.

Fairfield police identified the woman who died as 31-year-old Constance Hages. Detectives noted that family members informed authorities Hages was pregnant when she was killed.

Victim Conditions and Police Response

Multiple victims remain in critical condition following the shooting. Police identified three of the injured as a 16-year-old male, a 19-year-old male, and a 32-year-old male. A 23-year-old male also sustained serious injuries but is currently listed in stable condition.

Two additional victims—a 19-year-old male and a 43-year-old male—received medical treatment and have since been released from the hospital. Detectives are currently reviewing video and security footage to identify the suspect. No further suspect information was released by Saturday morning.

The FBI Sacramento field office confirmed that it responded to the scene and is assisting Fairfield police with the ongoing investigation.

We recognize the concern and uncertainty this incident has created throughout our community, particularly with the many Halloween events and celebrations planned for today, Fairfield police said in a Saturday morning statement.
