Roy Eunice, 42, was fatally shot on May 5, 2018, outside his apartment in Sacramento’s Oak Park neighborhood while taking out the trash. The shooting happened within feet of his twin 10-year-old daughters; one bullet pierced the front door, another passed through two walls, and a third struck Eunice in the chest. He returned inside long enough to tell his daughters to call their mother and 911 before collapsing and later dying of his wounds.

Family described Eunice as a loving father who helped with his daughters’ school activities. His sister, Mary Thompson, called the killing a senseless murder and urged the person responsible to come forward. The Sacramento Police Department has not released information about a motive or a suspect and the investigation remains open. Eunice had previously comforted a dying 16-year-old neighbor, Timothy Jeter, whose homicide is also unsolved.

If anyone in Oak Park on or around May 5, 2018, has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
