Isaiah Molina was 19 when he was shot and killed on September 22, 2021, at the Lake Crest Village shopping center in the Pocket area of Sacramento. Family members describe him as a sweet young man who spent most of his time at home and had no criminal record. His mother, Rosita Molina, says the shooting left the family devastated and struggling for closure.

Police say the suspect fled in a dark-colored car before officers arrived. A friend who was with Isaiah also left the scene and did not call 911; Rosita Molina believes that friend knows the shooter’s identity but has not come forward. No arrests have been made and the case remains open. Community groups including Impact Sac and Sacramento Valley Crimestoppers joined the family in public appeals, noting that a local culture of silence has complicated efforts to solve the case.

Does anyone have information about that night, the dark-colored car, or the friend who was with Isaiah?
