San Lorenzo slaying tied to felon after county shootout
A Solano County coroner identified 35 Rebiejo as the victim killed on a county road near Vacaville. A felon, once convicted in 1970 after a 1966 Hayward Oakland crime spree, was arrested five hours later in Davis after a shootout. A second woman, a Woodland beauty shop clerk, was wounded by the same suspect before the man was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds. James Reeve, a former Oakland baker now in Davis, was arrested in connection with her death and with the shooting. Reeve, released last July from Vacaville prison, had a Dec. 12, 1970 conviction in the Caxlaet olie Cunee and an escape following the earlier spree. The report notes an elderly Ashland heart attack victim and a deputy sheriff as related context.
