Officers, detectives and crime scene investigators worked throughout the night to process the scene and canvass the area for potential witnesses and evidence.  Their investigation revealed that a neighborhood disturbance between two groups escalated into the tragic fatal shooting.  At this point, detectives do not believe that there are any outstanding suspects.  Martin was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail for homicide.  The case has now been forwarded to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution and there are no other details to release at this time.

“Every loss of life is a tragedy, but when a young child is involved, it is especially heartbreaking to the family, community, and responding officers. As violence in our city continues to rise, the most vulnerable in our communities are the most affected by these terrible crimes,” said Sacramento Police Department Chief Daniel Hahn. “I would like to thank the community leaders with Black Child Legacy who were instrumental in assisting officers and family members with a tragic scene.  I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the officers, detectives, and other department staff who worked tirelessly overnight and today to make an arrest in this homicide.”
