Dixon Police said early Saturday morning at bar close officers responded to Luke's Lounge on N. 1st Street to investigate a fight inside the bar.
Police announced they were searching for Sweeney over the weekend and published his picture. Sweeney turned himself in on Monday alongside his attorney and was booked into Solano County Jail. He is now facing charges of murder.
They told CBS News Sacramento in an exclusive interview that Kane died doing what he did best: protecting someone he loved.
Woodiwiss tells CBS News Sacramento she was working at Luke's Lounge the night of the incident.
"He was protecting me," Woodiwiss said through tears.
Woodiwiss says he had been a customer that night, who was kind to her and "tipping her well." At the end of the night, she says he came back and things took a turn for the worse.
"Man, that boy was so good. Man, that boy was good," Woodiwiss cried.
"It was animalistic. It was evil. It was nothing anybody ever should witness, should have happen to them, period. It was awful," said Woodiwiss, who witnessed it all unfold.
"I would have taken his spot a million times over. I loved that boy to death. That was supposed to be my husband, the father of my kids. Now knowing what happened I would have taken his place, he wouldn't let me, but I would. I would," said Woodiwiss.
"He went out of his way to make people smile," Michelle said. "He was a presence that could not be ignored."
"I have my breakdowns. Then I have clarity. But there's something that will remind me, a thought will come into my head, or just an image of him. It will set me back into a tailspin again," said Michelle of her grief. Michelle says there is some peace in knowing the man who allegedly took her son's life is now behind bars. "Because he took a very good man from a lot of people. Who loved him very much and it's not fair," Michelle said through tears.
Kane's family is now clinging to 21 years of laughter, love and holding out for closure. Dixon Police say no other suspects in the homicide investigation are outstanding. A Vacaville local businesses, Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon, will host a donation drive starting on Tuesday to raise money for Kane's celebration of life.
