The Sacramento Police Department announced the arrest in the homcide investigation on Friday afternoon in an updated news release. The department did not release the suspect’s name because he is a minor.
The shooting was reported shortly before 10:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Coral Gables Court, in the residential neighborhood just north of Meadowview Road.
Officers arrived at the shooting scene and found Chaney wounded by gunfire. Police said the officers provided immediate aid until medics from the Sacramento Fire Department arrived and took Chaney to a hospital. Chaney died from his injuries.
Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators took over the investigation, collecting evidence and questioning witnesses.
The Police Department has not released any details about what circumstances surrounded the deadly shooting or additional information about what led to the suspect’s arrest this week.
