Edward Anderson, 38, of Fairfield, California, was fatally shot on September 16, 2021, in a restaurant parking lot in Vallejo. Investigators concluded the killing was believed to be gang-related and alleged the shooters were lying in wait when they opened fire.

Two men were charged in connection with the slaying: Dequan Antonio Wright, 28, of Vacaville, and Kevonte Maurice Ridgle, 30, of Fairfield. Both were described as previously convicted felons. Prosecutors presented cellphone tower data and license plate reader images at an 11-day preliminary hearing; a Solano County Superior Court judge found sufficient evidence to bind both men over for trial. It was also established during hearings that the murder was committed to benefit a criminal street gang.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty and have been represented by defense attorneys, with Deputy District Attorney Ilana Shapiro leading the prosecution. The judge scheduled further proceedings and a trial setting.

Did anyone in the Vallejo or Fairfield area see activity in that restaurant parking lot around September 16, 2021, that could help the case?
