Police believe at least five shooters were involved in the mass shooting in downtown Sacramento last weekend and that it was gang-related violence.
A crime scene investigator photographs evidence markers at the scene of a mass shooting In Sacramento, Calif. April 3, 2022. and 12 wounded outside bars just blocks from California’s Capitol last weekend was a gunfight involving at least five shooters from rival gangs, Sacramento police said Wednesday.
Gregory Chris Brown, a criminal justice professor at California State University, Fullerton, said gangs often target rivals in drive-by shootings with fewer victims, though innocent bystanders are sometimes also struck. “That’s the narrative we don’t need at this particular time,” Accius said."This idea that we’re going to put blame to one demographic of folks and blame them for the violence that ensued.”Bill Sanders, a criminologist at Cal State LA, said he wanted to see more evidence the shooting was gang-related, a term police often use to drum up support. He said gang shootings are more mundane and most occur in what are considered gang neighborhoods.
Police were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was used in the massacre. It had been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire. Ten people were wounded in addition to the Martin brothers. At least two remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
