Terrence Hanes, 29, of Carmichael, California, was found dead in his home on El Vita Way on July 4, 2022, after a friend went to check on him. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office ruled he died of multiple gunshot wounds. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators tied the killing to a social media argument between Hanes and Elijah Utsey on July 1, 2022. Authorities say Utsey posted a threatening message on Instagram, and that on July 4 Utsey and Joshua Berry drove from Oakland to Hanes’ home in a red Mitsubishi. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the vehicle arriving, two people approaching the residence, gunshots being fired, and the two fleeing. Crime scene investigators recovered 17 shell casings and concluded two different firearms were used; the weapons themselves have not been recovered.

Both men reportedly changed guns, phones, and phone numbers after the shooting and stopped using the red Mitsubishi to avoid detection. What additional information do readers with knowledge of this case have that could assist the investigation?
