Three suspects arrested in Sacramento shooting that injured a baby, child and two adults

Two men and a teenage boy have been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of two children, the Sacramento Police Department said Wednesday, following a shooting in May that left a total of four victims injured.

Just after 10 p.m. on May 13, police responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Del Paso Boulevard and Fairfield streets in Old North Sacramento. Officers found two juvenile victims, “each with at least one non-life-threatening gunshot wound,” police said.

The victims were described by police as a 10-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl, The Sacramento Bee reported at the time.

After those two were transported to the hospital, officers found an additional two adults at an area hospital with non-life threatening wounds, authorities said.

Detectives identified two men, Davon Lewis-Mills, 19, and Demetreice Smith, 20, who are suspected of being involved in the shooting. A warrant was issued, and they were arrested July 5.

Lewis-Mills and Smith were arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court on July 7 and July 10, respectively. Both men are being held at the Sacramento County Main Jail and are ineligible for bail.

A male juvenile was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said. He was booked into juvenile hall.
