A former Natomas High School student was fatally shot April 10 on the South Natomas campus as school let out for the day, according to school district officials and the Sacramento Police Department. Police spokesperson Officer Anthony Gamble said the teen victim was not an active student at Natomas or Discovery but was on campus in an open area at the time of the shooting. The victim’s identity was not released pending notification by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office. Gamble said the victim attended a “nearby school,” but declined to elaborate as officers continued the search for the shooting suspect, who he said is a Natomas High student. The motive of the shooting remained under investigation, though authorities said the victim was intentionally targeted. Police and other law enforcement responded to the campus and the nearby Natomas Village Apartments across the street, near San Juan Avenue. According to radio dispatches reviewed by The Sacramento Bee, the search for a suspect quickly focused on the apartment complex, with teams of officers scouring the area. Dozens of people gathered outside the apartment complex, their numbers stretching along the campus lawn and into the street. They included a trio of women crying out for the person sought by police to surrender. “Put your hands up. Your mama’s right here. Come on out. Put your hands up,” one of the women pleaded as another woman sobbed beside her. “They’ve got guns everywhere. Come out, man.” To read more, check out https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article315374048.html. ✍️: Darrell Smith 📸: Paul Kitagaki Jr. #news #crime #shooting #sacramento #natomas #california
