Timothy Jeter was 16 when he was shot and killed on 40th Street and Broadway in Sacramento’s Oak Park neighborhood just after midnight on December 22, 2017. He had been out celebrating the start of his Christmas break; the shooting occurred a few blocks from his home. His mother said Timothy tried to run when a gun was shown but was ultimately shot. The killing was the sixth murder in Oak Park that year.

Investigators later tied the slaying to a wider December 2017 crime spree across Northern California. On January 1, 2018, two suspects, Terran Fayeweather, 18, and Antoine Yancy, 19, were arrested and charged in Timothy’s murder; a third suspect, Jeremiah Adams, was also arrested as authorities linked the group to multiple offenses including another murder, an attempted murder, home invasions and pharmacy robberies. Police continued to seek additional suspects and connections.

The community responded with calls for more youth resources and safety measures; Timothy’s mother urged leaders to create activities to keep children off the streets. Does anyone have information about Timothy, the night of December 22, 2017, or the broader crime spree that could help investigators?
