1 dead after broad daylight car-to-car shooting in south Sacramento
SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Deputies say the person hurt in a broad daylight car-to-car shooting in south Sacramento on Thursday has died.
The incident happened just before 1 p.m. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office says they got a two-round ShotSpotter activation along the 6400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Just minutes later, a passerby called to report seeing someone inside a crashed car that appeared to have been shot.
Deputies responded to the scene and found one man sitting inside his car that had crashed into a fence. The man had been shot at least once and deputies started life-saving measures before medics arrived.
The man was then rushed to the hospital but died from his injuries hours later, the sheriff's office says.
Detectives have now taken over the investigation. While they already determined that a car-to-car shooting had occurred, no information about the other vehicle – or what possibly led up to the shooting – has been released.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the man who was killed.
