De’vazia Turner, 29, was one of six people killed in a mass shooting in downtown Sacramento on April 3, 2022. The attack occurred in the early morning as bars and nightclubs were closing; rapid gunfire left three women and three men dead and another twelve people injured. The Sacramento County coroner identified Turner among the deceased alongside Johntaya Alexander, Melinda Davis, Yamile Martinez-Andrade, Sergio Harris, and Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi.

Turner was a father of four who loved cars and was known for a bright yellow Mercedes CLS. Family members said he helped run an auto shop with his father, Frank Turner, and planned to finish restoring a 1973 Buick. His mother, Penelope Scott, described him as a protector who took on adult responsibilities early in life.

Sacramento police said the scene was complex, with more than 100 videos and photos submitted by witnesses. Investigators identified multiple suspects and at least two shooters; several arrests were made, including Dandrae Martin on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun. Small memorials appeared near the scene as families and the community mourned.
