Vallejo police arrested a Fairfield man Tuesday in connection with an October 2024 homicide.
Officers arrested 38-year-old Daniel Joseph William Robins in a joint operation between U.S. Marshals and Fairfield police on Tuesday, according to a department press release. Robins, who was arrested at the 2200 block of Woolner Avenue in Fairfield, is accused of murder in connection with an early morning shooting that left one man dead in the Hillcrest neighborhood in October.
On Oct. 21, police responded to a Flock Safety gunshot detector alert at the 500 block of Daniels Avenue just after 1:30 a.m. Officers found 23-year-old Vallejo resident Kamahn Smith dead in the roadway with a gunshot wound to the head. Vallejo police spokesperson Sgt. Rashad Hollis did not respond to a request for comment.
Robins is being held without bail at the Solano County Jail, according to public records. He is represented by the Solano County Public Defender’s Office. A person who answered the phone at the agency said the office has not yet assigned a specific attorney to Robins’ case. A message left with Chief Deputy Public Defender Dan Messner was not immediately returned.
