Four arrested in south Sacramento shooting death of 17-year-old girl, deputies say
Four suspects were arrested this week in connection with the January death of a 17-year-old girl, believed by authorities to have been an innocent bystander fatally shot in south Sacramento, sheriff’s officials said.
Homicide detectives identified Kenneth Adam White, 19; Carlos Vasquez, 34; Jesus Manuel Perez, 18; and Alize Dnae Trask, 21, as suspects in the Jan. 13 death of Alynia Asiah Lawrence.
Trask is a resident of Sacramento County, the other suspects are from Alameda County, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release late Thursday.
White and Vasquez were arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail downtown on charges of murder, jail records show. Perez and Trask were booked on conspiracy charges.
All four are ineligible for bail, online jail logs show.
“Investigators believe the victim was an innocent bystander and was not the intended target of the shooting,” which happened around 6:30 p.m. Jan. 13 in the 6900 block of Stockton Boulevard, sheriff’s officials wrote.
Lawrence was shot while inside a vehicle, the Sheriff’s Office said. Family members during a vigil earlier this year said she was in a car sitting outside a south Sacramento liquor store.
Deputies responding to the scene located evidence of a shooting but did not find any victims at the scene. A 911 caller reported that the vehicle containing the victim drove away from the scene; Lawrence then died at a hospital, the Sheriff’s Office said.
White, Vasquez and Perez were arrested in Oakland, while Trask was arrested in Pinole, according to the news release.
No suspects are outstanding in the homicide, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
