- SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PSN) — A suspect has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in South Sacramento earlier this week, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.
Deputies responded around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to 39th Street and Mascot Avenue, where they found an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital but later died of his injuries, officials said.
