The Sacramento County coroner’s office has named Clifton Keene, 29, of Sacramento as the victim in a Tuesday evening shooting in the 3900 block of 42nd Avenue, which also injured one other person.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office responded at about 6 p.m. Tuesday to reports of shots fired near that location.
