Fatal Shooting in our Neighborhood

As reported by the Sacramento Bee:

Sacramento County Sheriff's Department deputies have canvassed an Arden Arcade neighborhood as part of an investigation into the fatal shooting of a man Monday [11/07/2011] evening in a supermarket parking lot.

Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jason Ramos said deputies responded at 7:18 p.m. Monday to a report of shots fired with a man down in the Raley's supermarket parking lot at the southeast corner of Watt and Marconi avenues.

He said deputies arrived within a couple of minutes and found an African American man, who appeared to be in his 30s, face down in a parking stall. He had suffered two gunshot wounds to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Ramos said deputies currently have very little information about the shooting. A witness reported a light-colored pickup truck speeding from the parking lot just after the shooting.

However, no further description of any vehicles or suspects was immediately available.

Anyone with information may can call the sheriff's homicide bureau at (916) 443-4357.
