The Sacramento Police Department is asking for the community's help in identifying a car seen in the area when 21-year-old Paul Cousins was murdered. 

On Tuesday, May 19, 2009, at 10:53 p.m., Officers were patrolling the area and heard numerous gun shots south of Mack Road near Center Parkway.  While Officers were checking the area, a call came in stating someone had been shot in the 7800 block of Summerview Way.  Officers responded and found two people shot in front of a house.  Paul Cousins died at the scene and the second victim survived his injuries.
