Dajha Richards was 19 when she was fatally shot on January 8, 2019, in South Sacramento on Orchard Woods Circle near Power Inn and Gerber roads. She was shot in the chest and was found clinging to life by her 12-year-old brother, who called 911. Richards identified her boyfriend, 20-year-old Damion Horton, to responding deputies but died later at a local hospital.

Authorities said the couple had a history of domestic violence. Horton fled the scene, leaving behind Richards, their four-month-old son and her brother, and turned himself in more than 24 hours later. The firearm was never recovered and investigators reported that friends and family had hidden Horton; his mother, Yolanda Smith, was arrested as an accessory after the fact and for violating parole.

The case went to trial; in September 2021 Horton was convicted of first-degree murder, discharging a firearm causing death and being a felon in possession of a firearm. What can readers who knew Dajha or who have information about the firearm or the night of January 8, 2019, add to this story?
