Man hospitalized after shooting in midtown Sacramento’s Boulevard Park neighborhood

A man was seriously injured Saturday afternoon in a shooting in midtown Sacramento, according to police.

Officer Karl Chan, a spokesman for the Sacramento Police Department, said dispatchers were notified of a shooting near the intersection of 19th and I streets in the Boulevard Park neighborhood around 2:30 p.m.

Responding officers found a man who had been shot and took him to a nearby hospital. Chan said he was listed in “critical, but stable” condition. By Saturday evening, Chan said the man was in stable condition.

Police remained in the area of the shooting gathering evidence and conducting their investigation. Investigators believe that the shooting was a result of an escalating “disturbance between two parties,” according to Chan.

The shooter fled the area before police arrived and Chan said that there was no description of a possible suspect.

Less than 13 hours earlier in the central city, another man was wounded in a shooting on Sacramento’s K Street Mall.
