There were reports of people running from the scene, but investigators have no suspect descriptions or witnesses to the shooting at this time.

Some residents after a late night of work were steered away from the Howe Avenue entrance to the complex, and instead were told to use the Cottage Way entrance.

Residents awaking Thursday morning to the scene expressed their shock at such a violent crime.

"I mean, it does happen - especially around this area. Obviously, this isn't the nicest area. But it's [still] terrible," said resident Fransisco Arisaga.

Another resident said that, due to this incident, they will be leaving the complex and moving to Auburn.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
