Ernie Cardena, 49 and a Sacramento resident, was killed on August 27, 2017 during the filming of a rap video at Meadowview Park. The shooting, described as gang-related, also wounded four other people and prompted an intensive investigation by the Sacramento Police Department.

Seven months after the attack three people were arrested and charged in connection with Cardena’s murder: 27-year-old Antwan Lands, 20-year-old Amontie Woltham, and 19-year-old Quieson Murphy. Two of those arrested were already in custody on unrelated charges at the time of the arrests. The case spurred local discussion about gang violence and prompted city action, including support and funding for the Advance Peace program as a measure aimed at preventing further violence.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at Meadowview Park or has information about the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
