Tennessee Street site of two deaths in 12-hour period
A heated pursuit of nearly two miles after an attempted traffic stop on Saturday morning ended in a vehicle collision on Sonoma Boulevard and Tennessee Street that left one dead and others transported to a local hospital.
A driver on Vallejo’s Sonoma Boulevard and Lemon Street at close to 1 a.m. Saturday refused to pull over for officers, triggering a high-speed pursuit that ended when the driver collided with an uninvolved vehicle.
According to Vallejo police, a male occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The other occupants in both vehicles were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
The Solano County Major Crimes Task Force took over the investigation.
The incident came just a day after a hectic Fourth of July that saw the Vallejo Fire Department respond to 86 calls in a 32-hour period. It also came approximately 12 hours after a homicide at Tennessee and Humboldt streets — the city’s 10th homicide of the year.
The identity of the victim in Friday’s shooting is being withheld pending notification of next of kin by the Solano County Coroner’s Office. Police say it is too early to know if the incidents are related.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact Detective Daniel Callison at (707) 648-4533 or Daniel.Callison@cityofvallejo.net or Detective William Carpenter at (707) 651-7146 or William.Carpenter@cityofvallejo.net.

Titans WR Overlooked in New Offense
The Tennessee Titans have a bunch of new faces on offense this season that are expected to help improve the unit.
They added JC Latham with the No. 7 overall pick to be the team’s left tackle of the future, signed Lloyd Cushenberry to be the anchor of the offensive line at center, and inked Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley to big deals to lead the team. However, there’s one more addition that should make the Titans even better.
Tyler Boyd signed a one-year, $5 million contract this offseason, ending his eight-year tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals, who drafted him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Boyd, 29, has worked with new head coach Brian Callahan during their time together with the Bengals (2019-23) and he should be valuable in more ways than one.
“A lot of attention in the Titans receiver room will be paid to the arrival of Calvin Ridley, but don’t sleep on how important of an addition Tyler Boyd was. The veteran has been a reliable and underrated pass-catching option throughout his career and should help Will Levis tremendously as he steps into Year 2. Over the past four seasons, Boyd has caught 70.6% of his targets,” CBS Sports contributor Tyler Sullivan writes.
Boyd caught 67 passes for 667 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals last season, finding a way to contribute even with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins alongside him in the offense. Coach Callahan’s system is designed to spread out wealth towards several different targets, and Boyd will feel comfortable in his role. He may not receive as many looks as Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins, but he should factor into the team’s plans each and every week.
If Callahan and the Titans can find a way to match what they were able to build in Cincinnati, Boyd should enjoy a successful first season in Tennessee. A lot of that could come down to Will Levis and his ability to fill in the role of Joe Burrow in the offense, but if he’s able to be 70-75 percent of the Cincinnati star, then Tennessee should be just fine.

Tennessee Higher Education Commission reports College-Going Rate Soar, Largest Increase in Nearly a Decade – Clarksville Online – Clarksville News, Sports, Events and Information
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) announced significant momentum today in increasing the state’s college-going rate, highlighted by a 2.4 percentage point increase for the class of 2023 over the class of 2022.
The state’s 56.7% college-going rate for the class of 2023 represents the largest year-over-year increase since the initial implementation of the tuition-free Tennessee Promise scholarship in 2015.
The college-going rate indicates the percentage of Tennessee’s public high school graduates who seamlessly enroll in postsecondary education immediately after high school.
“In the fall of 2022, THEC was pleased to work with partners across the state to launch a ‘Momentum Year’ to increase the college-going rate for the class of 2023, to increase adult enrollment in higher education through Tennessee Reconnect, and to improve coordination and alignment in education and workforce training,” said Dr. Steven Gentile, THEC Executive Director.
“It is gratifying to see those efforts pay off in helping even more Tennessee students and adult learners pursue their dreams and careers with college degrees and workforce credentials beyond high school,” Gentile said.
“However, we know there is still so much more work to do to help ensure every Tennessean has the opportunity for college access and success, which is why we are doubling down on FAFSA completion with the class of 2024 this summer to help more students maximize free financial aid.”
In today’s report: Tennessee College Going and the Class of 2023, THEC provides valuable insights into the trends and progress of college enrollment among high school graduates in Tennessee, including for the first time differing college-going rates based on socioeconomic data.
These new findings showed economically disadvantaged students had a 39.3% college-going rate, while their non-economically disadvantaged peers had a 65.3% college-going rate.
Other major highlights from the class of 2023 college-going rate report include:
- Overall College-Going Rate: The college-going rate for the class of 2023 is 56.7%, representing a 2.4 percentage point increase compared to the previous year. This increase for the class of 2023 represents the largest year-over-year increase since the initial implementation of the tuition-free Tennessee Promise scholarship in 2015.
- Demographic Disparities in Access: College going for the class of 2023 is up across all race/ethnicity and gender pairs. However, these increases are not evenly distributed. White females, Hispanic/Latino males, and females in the “Other” race/ethnicity group saw growth in college-going rates above the statewide growth of 2.4 percentage points.
- Dual Enrollment Impact: College-going rates for high school students who participate in the Dual Enrollment Grant remain high, and participation in the Dual Enrollment Grant has increased over time as the state has invested in wider opportunities for participation. Dual enrollment programs play a crucial role in fostering college readiness among Tennessee’s high school students. Students who were found to have participated in the Dual Enrollment Grant at any point in their high school career were found to have consistently higher college-going rates than their high school peers.
The release of today’s college-going rate report reaffirms THEC’s commitment to advancing educational attainment in Tennessee. The data not only highlights the progress being made, but also serves as a valuable tool for policymakers and educational institutions to identify areas for further improvement and enhance strategic planning.
