SACRAMENTO, Calif — A 17-year-old suspect connected to the killing of another Sacramento teen was arrested on Thursday, Sacramento police officials said.
Sacramento police found Jaylen Betschart, 17, in a car on Oct. 3 after responding to calls of a vehicle crashing into a pole at the 8300 block of Jackson Road at around 3:30 p.m.
Police said Betschart was shot at least once. Officers attempted to perform life-saving measures but Betschart died at the scene.
Police did not release the identity of the suspect because he is a minor. Police also did not release a motive for the shooting.
The shooing was one of four that happened in Sacramento and Arden-Arcade on Saturday, which included the killing of a 9-year-old Makaylah Brent in a drive-by shooting.
Police are asking anyone with information regarding this case to call 916-808-5471.
