Sarayah Jade Redmond, 19, was fatally shot while visiting a friend’s apartment at the Stonecreek Apartments in the Natomas area of Sacramento on September 25, 2020. She was watching a movie when someone fired into the unit; another person inside was wounded but survived. Sarayah’s mother, Jennifer Redmond, said Sarayah hoped to attend beauty school and open her own business.

The investigation stretched over two years as family and supporters held marches and raised awareness. Surveillance footage released by the Sacramento Police Department showed four people believed connected to the shooting. Detectives later linked the crime to 20-year-old Treace Palmer, who was in custody in Washoe County, Nevada on unrelated charges; an arrest warrant was issued and Palmer is expected to be extradited to Sacramento to face homicide charges.

If anyone knew Sarayah or has information about the shooting at Stonecreek Apartments, please come forward to assist investigators.
