Emily Hemming, 24, a female from Santa Rosa, California, was found dead on June 11, 2025, inside an apartment on the 1500 block of Atlanta Court after police responded to a report of possible domestic violence. Officers arrived around 2:40 p.m. following a third-party call and, after attempts to make contact failed, a SWAT team entered the residence at about 4:30 p.m., discovering two people deceased in a back bedroom.
According to investigators, the man in the apartment, Vicente Carrillo-Cedillo, 24, shot Emily Hemming multiple times—believed to be with an assault rifle—before turning the weapon on himself. Four firearms were recovered from the scene, including two pistols, a shotgun, and an assault rifle; authorities said the guns were owned by Carrillo-Cedillo.
Police and local outlets identified the pair and noted they had been dating and were living together in Santa Rosa, having moved from Southern California in 2022. Officials also said there were no prior domestic-violence incidents on record involving the couple.
No arrests were made. The case has been treated as a murder-suicide, with Carrillo-Cedillo considered the suspect who died at the scene. Authorities emphasized that the violence was contained to the apartment and used the incident to highlight resources for those experiencing domestic abuse.
Community records memorialized the loss of Emily Hemming, 24, female, on June 11, 2025, in Santa Rosa, while local radio and city alerts reiterated the sequence of the response, the SWAT entry, and the discovery of both victims. The incident was counted among Santa Rosa’s homicides for 2025 and became one of the year’s murder-suicide cases.
