Today in Sacramento: Here’s what you need to know for Wednesday

Homicide suspects back in court

Charlie Hola and Tevita Kaihea, charged with murder last week in the Sept. 3 shooting of 25-year-old Roman Gonzalez at Sacramento City College, are due back in court to determine who will represent them. Prosecutors allege the slaying was part of a violent spree that included an armed robbery and attempted murder hours before the campus parking lot shooting. The slaying prompted a campus lockdown.

Firefighters’ raises on agenda

The Roseville City Council will be asked to adopt an ordinance implementing 3 percent raises for members of the Roseville Firefighters Association, which are to take effect Sunday. Council members in October approved a two-year agreement between the city and firefighters with the raise. The ordinance spells out details of salaries affected and estimates a $216,485 in increased annual costs to the city. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers, 311 Vernon St., Roseville.
