Bansa Douangpanya, 33, was killed in a shooting on the evening of May 22, 2017, inside a home on Lily Street near Harris Avenue in North Sacramento. Officers who responded found two men with gunshot wounds; Douangpanya died at the scene despite life-saving efforts and the other victim was reported in serious but stable condition. Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators canvassed the area for evidence and witnesses, but the motive remained unclear.

The Sacramento Police Department opened an active homicide investigation and asked the public to come forward with information. No arrests or charges were reported in the immediate aftermath. Douangpanya’s record includes a 2008 conviction for assault with a deadly weapon after he struck someone with a beer bottle outside a downtown bar and dance club; he received a three-year state prison sentence for that offense.

Who in the neighborhood or anyone with information about that May 22, 2017 shooting can help investigators fill in what happened that night?
