Detectives release photo of suspect vehicle in unsolved Sacramento fatal shooting

Homicide detectives on Wednesday evening released a photo of a vehicle believed to have been involved in a shooting that killed a Vallejo man more than a year ago in Sacramento.

Police officers found Randy Allen Taylor, 35, with gunshot wounds near the 3100 block of Broadway in North Oak Park around 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 7, 2019. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.

The Sacramento Police Department asked the public to help detectives identify a suspect in the shooting. The detectives on Wednesday released a still image captured on a security camera that they believe shows the suspect vehicle in the area of the shooting scene.
