Tragically, one of our homeless residents passed away this week. Even more reason to work together for a better configuration. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Car hits, kills man with cart on dark street
Times-Herald staff report

A 49-year-old Vallejo man pushing a shopping cart was struck and killed by a car on Sonoma Boulevard early Monday morning, police said.
The man's identity has not been released as the Solano County Coroner's Office tried to contact his relatives, said Vallejo Police Department spokes-man Abel Tenorio.
It was Vallejo's first pedestrian fatality of the year.
The man, who police believe may have been homeless, was hit at 1:14 a.m. by a woman who was driving an older model BMW south on Sonoma, Tenorio said.
"A preliminary investigation indicates the driver doesn't appear to be in violation of any laws," Tenorio said. "It just seems the individual was trying to cross the roadway in the dark."
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Vallejo Officer Justin Farrington at (707) 648-4329.
