Police will be present at high schools following two West Sacramento shootings

West Sacramento high schools will have an increased police presence on Monday following two shootings in a neighborhood bordering Summerfield Park over the past week.

One shooting, on Wednesday, resulted in the death of 16-year-old Adrian Carter of Sacramento. A second shooting on Friday, said by police to be in “retaliation” for the earlier incident, left another youth in critical condition.

That victim, also 16, was described as a West Sacramento resident. Authorities have not yet released his identity.

Arrests have been made for each shooting, police said.

In a statement released Sunday, the West Sacramento Police Department said officers will be present to start the week “to help ensure a calm and safe environment.” Carter was formerly a student in the district, the Washington Unified School District said in a statement.

“We recognize this has been a jarring and emotional week for our community, with violence hitting close to home and the tragic loss of a young life due to a shooting,” the department said. “While those involved are not current WUSD students, and there have been no threats to WUSD schools, we know the impact has been deeply felt.”

Police said the initial shooting likely resulted from a marijuana drug deal “gone bad.”

A Sacramento man, Adrek Isacc Miramontes, 19, was arrested in connection with Wednesday’s shooting.
