Man shot and killed after argument at Rosemont liquor store, according to reports

One man is dead following an argument Monday evening outside of a Rosemont liquor store.

Deputies responded around 4:30 p.m. to the 8900 block of Folsom Boulevard to reports of a man suffering from gunshot wounds, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release late Monday.

The 911 caller told authorities that a male was “sitting in his vehicle, appeared to have multiple gunshot wounds and was in and out of consciousness,” according to the news release.

The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office told ABC 10 the shooting occurred at M&M Liquor & Food after two men got into an argument inside the store before going outside. Shots rang out soon after, ABC 10 said, citing the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they believed both men were armed, ABC 10 said. Deputies told KCRA the victim was struck multiple times and that the other man fled.

Meanwhile, a block southwest of the shooting, a sheriff’s deputy was injured in a vehicle accident while responding to the shooting, according CBS Sacramento.

That incident happened around 6:15 p.m. on Folsom Boulevard near Manlove Road when a sheriff’s vehicle and another sedan struck a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Trent Senter.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Rodney Grassmann told The Sacramento Bee that those in the vehicle were not injured and that the CHP’s East Sacramento office would investigate the crash; he declined to elaborate.

CBS Sacramento, however, citing the Sheriff’s Office, said a female detective in the vehicle was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
