On July 8, just before 7:30 p.m., Sacramento Police officers responded to the 3700 block of Didcot Cir for reports of a medical aid call. It was reported that a female adult was located inside of a residence, possibly deceased. The female was pronounced deceased on scene by fire personnel. Detectives from our homicide unit responded to conduct a death investigation. Through the investigation, detectives were unable to locate the decedent's two kids, 4-year-old Athena Lee and 2-year-old Mateo Lee, (both pictured below), as well as the children's father, Camron Lee. It is believed that the kids are with Camron and the Sacramento Police Department has not been able to get in contact with him. Detectives would like to speak with Camron regarding the whereabouts of the children. It is believed that Camron is driving a grey 2023 Honda Passport (CA- 9JUS091) pictured below.

UPDATE: 

Locating Athena and Mateo are a top priority for the Sacramento Police Department. We will be using every resource we have and working with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to locate these children.
