Tragedy struck in Sacramento's South Natomas neighborhood last night, when two adults were killed and a 17-year-old girl was injured in a shooting outside an apartment complex. The Sacramento Police Department reported that officers were dispatched around 11:30 p.m. to the 2000 block of West El Camino Avenue after receiving reports of gunfire. According to ABC 10, upon arrival, three victims with gunshot wounds were found, and despite immediate medical aid, two men were pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation is in its early stages, and authorities are piecing together the events that led to the fatal incident. "We do know that two people are deceased and right now our hearts are with the family of the decedents," Sacramento Police Department PIO Anthony Gamble stated, as reported by ABC 10. A party that took place earlier that evening could hold the key to what happened, but as of yet, no suspect information has been made public.
The third victim, a 17-year-old girl, was transported to a nearby hospital, where she is listed in stable condition. The Sacramento Police Department, which received assistance from homicide detectives and crime scene investigators, believes that the party prior to the shooting is a significant aspect of their investigation. KCRA mentions that the identity of the victims has not yet been revealed, and police are urging anyone with information to step forward.
Members of the community, shocked by the violence, are looking for answers. No suspect information has been released, leaving residents with concerns about safety and a desire for justice. Officials have requested that anyone with information related to the shooting contact the Sacramento Police at (916) 808-5471 or Crime Stoppers.
