A Friday afternoon shooting in Sacramento's Del Paso Heights neighborhood has turned deadly, after a man found wounded on a residential block of Harris Avenue died at the hospital, according to police. Officers were called just after 2:45 p.m. to the 900 block, where they found an adult man suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was rushed to a local hospital but did not survive.
First responders tried life-saving measures at the scene before transport, Sacramento police told KCRA. Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators responded to Harris Avenue as the case shifted from a shooting call to a death investigation. The department has asked anyone who might have seen or heard something to call the non-emergency line at (916) 808-5471 or to send tips through the P3 Tips app.
Investigation Under Way
Authorities said there was no immediate threat to the broader public and described the shooting as an isolated incident, according to CBS Sacramento. The victim's name has not been released, as officials are waiting to notify his family.
Police have so far kept a tight lid on potential suspect information or a possible motive. As of Friday evening, those details remained under wraps while detectives worked the case and neighbors watched officers comb the street for clues.
What Officials Are Saying And Next Steps
No arrests have been announced in connection with the killing, according to FOX40. Detectives continued canvassing the Del Paso Heights area, going door to door and looking for surveillance footage that might have captured what led up to the gunfire.
The investigation remains active, with officers reviewing evidence and interviewing witnesses as they work to piece together a precise timeline of events and identify a suspect in the deadly shooting.
