We start with another violent
night in Del Paso Heights.
Sacramento police are investigag
after two people were killed
in a shooting late last night.
A man and woman were found in ar
around 10 along North Avenue and Clay St.
Both had multiple gunshot
wounds and died at the scene.
Right now, police believe it was
a targeted drive by shooting.
It's the latest in a string of shootings
over the past week in Del Paso Heights.
ABC Ten's Roxanne Elias is livew
after talking with the communit.
Roxanne.
This violence has families and
neighbors very shaken up and worried.
It does, Laura.
Right now the concern is that te
will be more shootings and more murders
if something doesn't change soo.
A mother we talked to out there in the
community says that she has two sons.
She's scared for them because
they're out of school.
They ride their bikes in the ar,
and she says that any moment
they could be hit by a stray
bullet if they're caught in the
middle of one of these shooting.
Shattered glass and flowers marked the
scene of another deadly shootinn
Sacramento's Del Paso Heights neighborhood.
It's wild what's going on
out here in the community.
Summertime. The school's out.
Kids are home.
My kids were nervous at first.
We thought it was fireworks,
Elaine Bolden,
a mother of two, says.
She wants to know what's going
to be done to stop the gun
violence in her neighborhood.
Tuesday night's shooting along
North Avenue and Clay St.
left a woman and a man dead.
On Monday, two men died after a
shooting nearby in North Sacram.
And this was the scene nearly ak
ago when seven people were hurtn
another incident at Rainbow Mar,
going back to the Rainbow Market incident
and then Lampass and then North Avenue.
None of those incidents,
from what we understand in the community.
Are connected or related to any
gang activity. The president
of the Del Paso Heights Communiy
Association says they meet once a month
with police to voice their conc.
But Bolden says neighbors are desperate
for something to happen quickly.
She's asking city officials to p
by and put an end to the shooti.
Come to the neighborhood and ser
yourself that it's it's crazy out here.
You wouldn't want your kids her.
Would you want your kids here?
So it's like, you know, come out here,
talk to us, talk to the people,
do something with the people and you know,
the people will answer back.
Sacramento police say the motive
of Tuesday shooting will be
determined through the investigation.
They are working with their viot
crime reduction strategy to rede
violent crime throughout the ci.
Gregory Jefferson says neighbors
are talking and from what they ,
most of the people involved in e
crimes do not live in the area.
They don't want the shootings to
define the Del Paso Heights community.
It does not reflect the overall
residency of Del Paso Heights.
It does not there.
There's overwhelmingly more good
things and positive things than that.
Then those 3 incidents may show.
One of the
members of the association has e
idea to perhaps buy ring camera.
They're asking the city or anyoe
who wants to donate these camer.
They say that it will deter somf
the crime that's happening becae
there will always be video of wt
is happening in front of these homes.
Now the association meets on the
1st Saturday of every month.
They meet at North Command
off Marysville Blvd.
Community members are invited
to come at The next one that's
happening is on July 1st.
People can come from the communy
and voice their concerns or
ask police questions.
Chris, Laura back to you in stuo
to also help stop the violence.
