A 29-year-old Sacramento man is facing multiple felony charges after deputies say he was spotted in military-style clothing near Rosemont High School, then later found with what authorities describe as a large weapons cache at his home. The haul reportedly included modified firearms, a ghost gun tucked away in an attic, tactical gear and hundreds of firearm parts. Detectives with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office have labeled the behavior "concerning and escalating" as they probe whether there have been other encounters that were never reported.
Search At Home Yielded Weapons And Tactical Gear
According to CBS Sacramento, deputies identified the suspect as 29-year-old Dalmin Muran after campus security at Rosemont High called in suspicious activity. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office says Muran was seen near the campus after hours, dressed in military-style clothing and wearing night-vision goggles. Officials report that he walked away when campus security approached him.
Detectives later obtained a search warrant for his residence, where, according to CBS Sacramento, they found law-enforcement patches, tactical gear, several modified firearms and a ghost gun hidden in the attic. Investigators also say they recovered hundreds of firearm parts they believe could be used to build or alter weapons.
Investigators Seek Tips And Review Possible Impersonation
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information about Muran or similar encounters to contact investigators, listing a non-emergency tip line at (916) 874-5115. Detectives say they are concerned Muran might have impersonated law enforcement in other incidents and are urging anyone with video, photos or relevant details to come forward.
The suspicious behavior was reported after hours near Rosemont High School, located at 9594 Kiefer Blvd., which has put the surrounding community on edge as the investigation continues.
Why Ghost Guns Are A Growing Enforcement Concern
Privately made "ghost" guns and precursor parts have increasingly been turning up in police recoveries and remain notoriously difficult to trace, prompting a string of new regulations in California. The California Department of Justice notes that recent state laws require unique identifying marks on unserialized firearms and place limits on certain types of firearm manufacturing equipment.
A study in the Journal of Urban Health found that in recent years, privately manufactured firearms have made up a growing share of crime guns recovered in California, underscoring why local agencies treat cases involving ghost guns as a serious enforcement challenge.
What Comes Next
Muran was booked into the Sacramento County Jail on multiple felony counts and, authorities say, posted bail just hours later. Detectives are still canvassing the area for witnesses and combing through surveillance footage.
Anyone with information tied to the case is urged to call investigators at (916) 874-5115, as stated by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
