SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento man accused of a deadly drive-by shooting in Jan. 2022 has been convicted.

According to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office, a jury convicted Devonte White of first-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm.

The charges are related to a Jan. 2022 shooting in Del Paso Heights where Matthew Keen was standing on the front porch of his home when he was shot at eight times and hit three times.
