Vallejo Woman Found Dismembered; Suspect Arrested

A Vallejo home on 14th Street yielded the remains of 28-year-old Renia Lewis concealed behind a secret wall inside the attic after detectives returned with a search warrant following an earlier welfare check. Vallejo police arrested 41-year-old Douglas Irwin Shaw at his workplace, Six Flags Fairgrounds, and say he admitted responsibility; he was booked on suspicion of murder. Family members told KTVU and the San Francisco Chronicle that Lewis’s body had been dismembered, though investigators have not released full details about cause of death or motive. Authorities issued an Ebony Alert, notified the FBI and are urging anyone with information to contact detectives as the investigation continues. Relatives said they tracked Lewis’s last ping via Life360 and later found her phone on the roof of a nearby school.
