Sacramento County's district attorney says a man arrested in connection with the shooting has not been charged with homicide and more arrests are expected.
As flowers and candles filled the streets of downtown Sacramento a day after a mass shooting took the lives of six people and wounded 12 others, police announced they had arrested a man, but revealed little about who he was or what they suspected about his role in the violence.
The youngest victims were two women, Johntaya Alexander and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, both 21. The oldest, Melinda Davis, 57, was an unsheltered woman who was well known along K Street, where she often slept. Those who knew her described her as “very friendly” and someone who liked to mingle with the patrons of the bars when they came out at closing time.
It was lightly attended, but down the street, at the site of the shooting, an informal gathering of family members took over the corner, where the children of Sergio Harris helped light dozens of candles in small paper cups and tall pillars emblazoned with the images of saints. A friend of Martinez-Andrade lamented that her friend also seemed to have her whole life ahead of her.
“His kids meant everything to him,” said a friend of Hoye-Lucchesi. The friend, who asked not to be named, said the 32-year-old was “active in their lives, a really good dad.” He was also a caring and dependable friend, she added, always there in a crisis. Mathis said she talked to Turner an hour before the shooting, checking in to see when he would be coming home. The two never slept apart, she said.
