Clifton Keene, 29, was killed in a shooting on November 5, 2019, in the 3900 block of 42nd Avenue in South Sacramento. He was visiting his mother and his girlfriend at the time; a 47-year-old woman was also shot and left paralyzed. Neighbors described Keene as a hardworking father of three who was trying to provide for his family, and the community said both victims were innocent bystanders rather than intended targets.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office investigated and on November 25, 2019, arrested three suspects: Joe Martinez, 18, and Edward Sabala, 20, were charged with murder, and Moises Ramirez, 21, was arrested as an accessory. Detectives reported the shooting was believed to be gang-related and tied to a broader pattern of violence in the area. Residents called for increased patrols and more action to address gang violence after the arrests.
