An autopsy revealed he was shot in the chin, but died from a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He had no previous criminal record, police said. Mason, who sat in the rear of the car, had two superficial wounds in the upper shoulder area. Police attributed his wounds to flying shrapnel, not bullets. He was treated and released from University of California, Davis, Medical Center, and booked by area police for an outstanding Solano County burglary warrant.
Police believe the two males are cousins.
The driver, Mason's girlfriend, was uninjured. Police said they have not released her name because she has not been charged with a crime. A .32-caliber revolver containing five expended shell casings was found near Stuart's feet. Police said they have not yet identified the owner of the gun, nor do they know who fired the weapon. Pending further investigation and following Solano County Fatal Incident Protocol, Bondoc and Augusto have been placed on administrative leave.
