Officer Tara Christina O’Sullivan, 26, of the Sacramento Police Department was killed on June 19, 2019 while responding to a domestic disturbance on Redwood Avenue in Sacramento, California. She was assisting a woman retrieving belongings when a male inside the home opened fire with a high-powered rifle. Continued gunfire prevented other officers from reaching her immediately; she was transported to UC Davis Medical Center and later died of her wounds.

The suspect, identified as Adel Sambrano Ramos, remained barricaded in the home for several hours and surrendered the next morning after negotiators engaged him. Ramos was arrested and charged with Officer O’Sullivan’s murder; in 2021 he was found guilty of first-degree murder and other charges, though the sentencing phase ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury.

Woodlake Park’s baseball field was renamed Officer Tara O’Sullivan Memorial Field and the H Street Bridge was renamed the Tara O’Sullivan Memorial Bridge in her honor. If anyone knew Officer O’Sullivan or has information relevant to the case, please share it.
