Sacramento Police Probe Two Fatal Shootings Days Apart

Police have opened homicide investigations, requesting public tips.

Overview

  • Officers responded just after 1:15 a.m. to A Street and Ahern Street, where a woman was found shot and later died at a hospital.
  • Detectives have secured the A Street scene, are canvassing for evidence, and urged tips to dispatch or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers, where callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.
  • No suspect information has been released in either case as investigators work to determine what led up to the shootings.
  • In Tuesday night's Old North Sacramento shooting near Evergreen Street and Arden Way, a woman died at the scene and a man later died at a hospital.
  • Police said the man's wound is believed to have been self-inflicted, and the Evergreen and Arden case was identified as the city's first homicide of the year.
