VALLEJO, Calif. (KRON) -- A man has been arrested in connection with a 2021 killing of a 78-year-old woman, the Vallejo Police Department (VPD) said Thursday. Elijah Pulealii, 19, was taken into custody on Wednesday after a months-long search.
VPD officers responded to the 200 block of University Avenue at about 9:43 a.m. on August 13, 2021, for the report of a dead woman inside a home. Members of the Vallejo police and fire departments responded and pronounced her dead at the scene.
She was later identified as 78-year-old Linda Tyrrell. An autopsy revealed that she died from an assault, police said.
In April 2022, the Solano County District Attorney’s Office filed homicide charges against Pulealii and issued a warrant for his arrest. Vallejo detectives have been searching for him since then.
