Help us Identify Suspect in South Area Homicide
Sacramento Police Department is requesting the community’s assistance in identifying a suspect. The composites below depict the same suspect as described by two separate witnesses.
On Wednesday, December 25, 2013, at approximately 9:44 p.m., officers responded to the 7400 block of 29thStreet regarding a report of a shooting.
Officers quickly arrived on scene and found a male teenaged victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim was rushed to an area hospital with critical injuries and he died several days later. An immediate investigation ensued and it was soon discovered that multiple subjects had been struck by gunfire.
An additional victim, also in his teens, arrived at the hospital and medical staff informed police of his non-life threatening injury. A short time later, a third teenaged shooting victim was found in the area of the scene and taken to the hospital by police; he was treated and is expected to survive his injury.
Sacramento Police Homicide Detectives and Crimes Scene Investigators were called to the scene to assist with the investigation.
The suspect in the below sketch was described as being a male Black in his late teens, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 to 160 pounds, with twisted hair.
No arrests have been made at this time and detectives are actively working to determine a motive for the shooting. It appears the victims were among a group of teens who were approached by two suspects on foot.
