Officer-Involved Shootings

2020-07-21: 2900 block of Ramona Avenue

Summary

On Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at approximately 2:15pm, Sacramento Police Department (SPD) officers were at an apartment complex in the 2900 block of Ramona Avenue conducting their follow-up investigation into a shooting that occurred on July 15, 2020. While on scene, officers observed a subject matching the description of the suspect from that shooting who had a distinctive visible tattoo.

Officers verbally identified themselves and attempted to contact him. The subject removed a handgun from a satchel and began pointing it at officers. The suspect continued to point the firearm at officers and remained non-compliant with their commands to drop the weapon. One officer discharged their patrol rifle, striking the subject at least once.

Officers approached the subject and rendered medical aid until personnel from the Sacramento Fire Department arrived. The suspect was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he was later declared deceased. The subject has been publicly identified as 22-year-old, Jeremy Southern.
