On July 09, 2023, just after 6:35 p.m., Sacramento Police Department patrol officers responded to the area of Jibboom Street and Richards Boulevard regarding reports of a vehicle collision involving pedestrians. The vehicle was reported to have lost control before striking the pedestrians. Upon arrival, officers located four victims on-scene, two adult females and two juveniles (ages 6 and 9) with serious or critical injuries. Officers and Sacramento Fire Department personnel immediately began performing life-saving measures. Despite these efforts, Sacramento Fire Department personnel pronounced a 38-year-old female adult deceased at the scene. Sacramento Fire personnel transported the second adult victim, and two juvenile victims to area hospitals.

The driver of the vehicle was located on-scene. During the investigation, officers determined that the driver of the vehicle displayed objective signs of intoxication. The suspect, 27-year-old Israel Campos, was arrested for felony DUI and Gross Vehicular Manslaughter.

Detectives and crime scene investigators conducted a thorough canvass of the area for evidence, witnesses, and additional information.
