On the morning of April 13, 2025, the Solano County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a fire on Cherry Glen Road in Vacaville, California. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the burned body of a man later identified as 58-year-old Adam Muela, a male resident of Bay Point. An autopsy revealed that the victim had sustained multiple gunshot wounds prior to being set on fire, leading investigators to classify the case as a homicide.
Following an intensive investigation involving evidence collection, witness interviews, and forensic analysis, authorities arrested two suspects on April 22, 2025. The suspects, 52-year-old Clifton Summerise and 42-year-old Maria DeLeon, both residents of Vallejo, were taken into custody without incident and booked into the Solano County Jail on charges including murder and robbery. Notably, there is a discrepancy in the female suspect's name; while the sheriff's office identified her as Maria DeLeon, booking records list her as Maria Anita Williams.
The motive behind the killing of 58-year-old male victim Adam Muela remains under investigation. Authorities have not disclosed whether Muela knew the suspects or the circumstances leading up to his death. The Solano County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from the California Highway Patrol, continues to pursue all leads in this case and urges anyone with information to contact their Investigation Unit at 784-7050.
