Fairfield shooting arrest, restaurant shutdowns. Top Sacramento stories July 10
The Sacramento Bee covered a mix of crime, public health and sports news on Friday, July 10. From an arrest in a deadly graduation shooting to the death of a former Sacramento State football star, here’s a look at the day’s top stories.
- A 17-year-old suspect was arrested in Texas on suspicion of murder in the June 3 shooting at Sem Yeto Continuation High School’s graduation ceremony in Fairfield, which killed 18-year-old Jamario Baker and injured three others. The teen fled to the Dallas-Fort Worth area days after the shooting and was taken into custody without incident by the U.S. Marshals Service and Fairfield police, who announced the arrest Friday morning.
- Two Sacramento-area eateries were temporarily shut down by county health inspectors after violations including a cockroach infestation, a clogged sink and a non-flushing toilet. Inspectors also cited an establishment for improperly cooled food and no paper towels at the kitchen sink; all locations were later reinspected and passed with green placards.
- Ivan Garza, a 25-year-old former Sacramento State offensive lineman who helped the Hornets win three Big Sky Conference titles, died Wednesday after being struck by a car in his hometown of Delano. Police say the 32-year-old driver cooperated with investigators, but Garza’s family disputes that account and describes the incident as a hit-and-run.
