Overview

  • Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho announced planned felony charges against Anibal Hernandez‑Santana, including discharging a firearm into an inhabited building and assault with a semi‑automatic firearm, with a potential state sentence of up to 17 years.
  • Hernandez‑Santana, 64, was re‑arrested by the FBI after posting $200,000 bail and is being held on a federal allegation of interfering with licensed broadcasts under 47 U.S.C. 333, with federal and county court appearances set for Monday and Tuesday.
  • Investigators linked a vehicle to the drive‑by shooting and, following a search of the suspect’s River Park home, prosecutors said they found key evidence connecting him to the case.
  • The DA told NBC News there is circumstantial evidence suggesting a political motive, citing the specific target and writings recovered after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show, though the investigation into motive continues.
  • Police said at least three rounds struck ABC10’s occupied lobby with no injuries reported, while the defense attorney said he was blindsided by the federal hold and has not seen evidence tying his client to the shooting.
