After witnesses pointed out an apartment, deputies detained one man and multiple juveniles who may have been involved. As of Saturday evening, no arrests have been made.
"We don't know what their level of involvement is, but right now, they are all detained until detectives get here," said Amar Gandhi, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies did not say if they recovered any evidence of a shooting. They said no weapons have been recovered at this time.
The sheriff's office is urging anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them as it remains under investigation.
