SACRAMENTO, Calif — The Sacrament Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting in the Upper Land Park neighborhood that left one person dead.
According to a press release, police were called to the area of Seavey Circle just after 11 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, for reports of shots fired. When officers arrived, they found one person had been shot and killed.
Police were still on the scene seven hours later as a homicide investigation team worked to collect evidence.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of the Marina Vista public housing complex that is home to hundreds of people.
As a roadside memorial from a murder that happened only three months ago sits just feet away from Monday night's crime scene tape, neighbors were left behind to pick up the pieces.
"Where did it go is the question?" one woman said as she looked for the bullet shot at the hood of her car.
From the hood on the woman's car, windshields, and even tires, ABC10 found nearly a dozen cars hit by stray bullets from the shooting.
"I was so scared, I went down to the ground," she said.
Nykisa Gray, a mother of three kids, has lived in the area for nine years and she said things have only gotten worse.
"I'm just sick of the violence, it just isn't making any sense," Gray said.
But it came as no surprise to her neighbor Cynethia Booker.
"It didn't really startle me because it wasn't the first time that it's happened. This has happened quite a bit so it's just, 'Oh no they're shooting again.' So it didn't surprise me," Booker said.
Booker called the shooting a "common occurrence" following July's homicide and a number of other shootings.
"Shut this place down, get everybody out of here, that's the only solution. There's nothing else they can do," she said. "There's just a bunch of bad eggs that live here."
Gray said most of the people that live at the complex have nowhere else left to go, for financial reasons, so for now, she's calling for peace.
"Black lives do matter and I need us as black people to come together and stop this senseless violence and killing each other, and taking away people's sons and taking away people's fathers. It's not right," she said.
