James Your Jr., 24, of Sacramento was shot late the night of June 15, 2019 in the 800 block of Calvados Avenue and died at a hospital early the next day, Father’s Day. Another person was shot at the scene and survived with non-life-threatening injuries. The Sacramento Police Department has said the shooting was not random and may be connected to events in Shasta County; Shasta County authorities have provided information to Sacramento investigators but details of that connection have not been released.

Family and friends remembered James as a loving, caring and humorous father who left behind a young son. A GoFundMe was created to support his family and to aid the search for the person responsible. No arrests have been announced and investigators are asking the public for information, offering anonymity and possible rewards for tips.

If anyone knew James, his activities on or before June 15, 2019, or has information about the incident or the possible Shasta County connection, please come forward.
