Witnesses told police that the suspect drove a white Dodge pickup truck used to commit the murder reportedly.

Law enforcement was able to quickly apprehend Tangitau in the 800 block of East Tabor Avenue. He was taken into custody without further incident despite his reportedly violent actions earlier in the day.
The police indicated that Tangitau is a known figure to them, with previous mental health calls associated with his name. He is currently being processed at Solano County Jail, where he will face murder charges. Investigators are still piecing together the motive behind the gruesome act.
