Police ID Man, Woman Who Died In Santa Rosa Murder-Suicide

SANTA ROSA, CA — Santa Rosa police on Wednesday released the names of a man and woman who died in a murder-suicide at an apartment last week.

Vicente Carrillo-Cedillo shot Emily Hemming multiple times with an assault rifle before turning the gun on himself in the June 11 shooting at an apartment in the 1500 block of Atlanta Court, according to police.

The pair, both 24 years old, were dating and had moved in 2022 to Santa Rosa from Southern California. There were no previous documented reports of domestic violence involving either of them, police said.

Officers had responded around 2:40 p.m. on June 11 to a report of a possible domestic violence case at the apartment and were told by residents that possible gunshots were fired about 20 minutes before the officers arrived on scene, according to police.

After trying for nearly two hours to contact the people inside, police entered the apartment and found Carrillo-Cedillo and Hemming dead in a bedroom. Multiple firearms registered to Carrillo-Cedillo were also found in the apartment, police said.

Police shared local resources for survivors of domestic violence, including the Family Justice Center of Sonoma County, which is located at 2755 Mendocino Ave. in Santa Rosa and can be reached at (707) 565-8255. YWCA Sonoma County provides a 24/7 confidential crisis hotline at (707) 546-1234 as well as emergency shelter and other services.
