West Sacramento police say two people were arrested in connection with a Saturday shooting near Village Parkway and Locks Drive after the injured man and woman helped identify the suspects. Both victims were treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers responding to the call found both victims at the scene and took them to a hospital, according to KCRA 3. Police said the victims helped confirm the identities of the suspects who were later arrested.
Suspects Booked on Assault Charges
Both suspects were booked into Yolo County Jail and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, police said. Detectives are investigating what led up to the shooting. It remains unclear which charging level the Yolo County District Attorney's Office will pursue.
The suspects were processed at the Monroe Detention Center in Woodland, the primary intake facility for arrests across Yolo County, which has a bed capacity of 345 following state-funded expansions. The Yolo County Sheriff's Office provides countywide detention and court security for roughly 200,000 residents spanning West Sacramento, Woodland, Davis, Winters, and surrounding unincorporated communities, with deputies handling inmate transport between the Woodland facility and county courtrooms.
Police Say No Ongoing Threat
The West Sacramento Police Department said there is no ongoing threat to the community related to the incident. The department is led by Chief Rob Strange, who was appointed to the role in March 2021 after serving as interim chief and chief investigator for the Yolo County District Attorney's Office, following earlier stints with the Woodland and Elk Grove police departments.
Saturday's shooting follows a pair of overnight shootings West Sacramento police investigated in September 2025, one of which resulted in a fatality, though those cases were treated as isolated investigations. Crime data compiled by CityRating.com shows West Sacramento recorded 185 total violent crimes in 2025, including 120 aggravated assaults, putting the city's violent crime rate roughly 24.4% below the California statewide average. By comparison, California Department of Justice statistics cited by Be Healthy Sacramento put the broader Sacramento County violent crime rate at 522.6 per 100,000 residents in 2024.
What crime data can show
The City of West Sacramento cautions that classifications on its crime map are preliminary and may change as investigations continue, so the map should not be used for in-depth crime analysis, according to the city. The California Department of Justice says its crime-data site contains statistics submitted by county and local law-enforcement agencies. The information cited here does not provide annual-report totals for aggravated assaults or firearm-related incidents, or comparable recent violent-crime rates for West Sacramento and Yolo County.
Investigative Tools Available to Detectives
West Sacramento police have access to Axon Fusus real-time software paired with a voluntary community camera registry, giving field officers real-time situational awareness during active crime responses and helping integrate video streams for cross-jurisdictional investigations. The department also operates a Crisis Co-Responder Team with Yolo County Health and Human Services, pairing officers with Associate Marriage and Family Therapists who are available daily to assist with complex disturbance calls.
Detectives continue to investigate what led up to the shooting at Village Parkway and Locks Drive, and police have not released additional details on a motive or the weapon involved. The department reiterated that there is no ongoing threat to the community tied to the incident as the investigation continues.
