On Friday, November 13, 2015, at approximately 3:24 p.m., the Sacramento Police Department responded to the intersection of Mabel Street and Silver Eagle Road regarding the report of a shooting.  

Officers received additional information that the victim’s vehicle, occupied by five juveniles, was driving east-bound on Silver Eagle Road when it stopped at the intersection of Mabel Street.   At that time, the unknown suspect(s) fired multiple rounds at the vehicle, striking the driver and the front passenger.  The suspect(s) fled the scene in an unknown direction of travel.  It is unknown at this time if the suspect(s) were in a vehicle or on foot at the time of the assault. 

After the shooting, all of the passengers exited the vehicle.  One of the passengers put the critically-injured driver in the back seat of the car and drove him to the 1400 block of Grand Avenue.  Sacramento Fire Department personnel responded and transported the 17-year-old juvenile to an area hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The remaining juveniles hailed an uninvolved, passerby who transported the front passenger to an area hospital where he is being treated for a non-life threatening injury.
