At approximately 1:15 AM on Sunday, November 24, 2024, the Sheriff’s Communications Center received a 911 call from a business owner on the 10000 block of Folsom Boulevard stating that someone broke into his business and he shot them.  Officers from the Rancho Cordova Police Department and Deputies from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office quickly responded to the scene and located one subject shot in an adjacent parking lot.  Deputies began life-saving first-aid, and the subject was transported by ambulance to a local area hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators responded to the scene, began their investigation, interviewed witnesses, and began to gather evidence.  Based on their investigation, Detectives learned the subject broke in through the front of the business and then attempted to gain access to a rear living area occupied by the business owner and two minor grandchildren.  The business owner shot the subject, who retreated back out through the front and collapsed in a nearby parking lot.

Based on the investigation thus far, no arrests have been made.  The investigation is still active, pending the autopsy, forensics, and other items.  Identification of the deceased will be made by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office in accordance with their protocols.
