A fatal shooting occurred in Sacramento's Upper Land Park neighborhood yesterday afternoon, leaving one man dead. The incident drew a rapid response from local law enforcement at around 1:30 p.m. to the intersection of Kit Carson Street and Revere Street, as reported by FOX40. Upon police arrival, officers discovered a man suffering from a gunshot injury.
After the shooting, which investigators say occurred near Alder Grove Apartments, lifesaving efforts were made on behalf of the victim. According to KCRA, bystanders crowded in distress around a nearby playground, while crime scene tape cordoned off stretches of the apartment complex. Despite the attempted medical intervention, the man was pronounced dead at the scene, a fact confirmed by a Sacramento Police Department spokesperson.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain limited, but the Sacramento Police Department has initiated an in-depth investigation into the sequence of events leading to the man's death. The identity of the man has not been publicly released, pending notification of kin and further investigation.
Tresla Gilbreath, who shared her connection to the victim as her niece's boyfriend with KCRA, was seen offering support for the family throughout the afternoon, having been directly thrust into the unfolding tragedy. "I got to co-op, and my sister called me and said, turn around and go right now to Seavey Circle," Gilbreath recounted the urgent summons she received during the events.
As the Sacramento Police Department continues its investigation, community members await answers. Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the authorities to aid in the ongoing inquiry.
