Two more suspects arrested in south Sacramento shooting that wounded 5

A shooting on Memorial Day wounded five people, including a teenager, at a Meadowview neighborhood apartment complex, Sacramento police said.

Officers were alerted about 8 p.m. May 27 of gunfire breaking out amid a large group of people who gathered at Villa Jardin and Coral Gables Apartments, an affordable housing complex bordering Coral Gables Court, according to archived audio dispatches. The location is across from Genesis Church.

On May 29, police announced the arrest of a suspected shooter, also a victim in the incident. A 23-year-old Sacramento man faces two charges of assault, according to jail records.

On June 3, two more suspects were arrested in connection with the shooting. One was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder while another person faces a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Both are expected to be arraigned in court June 6.

The age of the victims ranged from a person in their 40s to a girl in her late teens, according to police. Each victim — two women and three men — was hospitalized in “stable” condition as of late Monday, said Officer Cody Tapley, a spokesman for the Sacramento Police Department.

Tapley noted the investigation is ongoing, with detectives still processing evidence and interviewing witnesses.

Officers have not announced any suspect description. The incident remains under investigation, police said.
