Police believe at least five shooters were involved in the mass shooting in downtown Sacramento last weekend and that it was gang-related violence.
The Sacramento police department said Wednesday there was a gunfight between at least two groups of men.
Police were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was used in the massacre. It had been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire. The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Investigators believe both brothers had stolen guns and are trying to determine how they got them, the law enforcement official told the AP. Martin might have been released sooner, but a Parole Board rejected his bid for early release in May after prosecutors said the 2017 felony assault along with convictions for possessing an assault weapon and thefts posed “a significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community.”
