Ariyana Jones, 26, was fatally shot inside her Sacramento home on Tortola Way on December 1, 2016, while putting her children to bed. She was struck by rounds fired from outside the house that pierced walls and windows. Despite being taken to the hospital, she died; her children were a one-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter.

Ariyana taught pre-kindergarten at Sacramento Country Day School and had been active in the neighborhood, including organizing a neighborhood watch. Investigators say the shots came from outside and have ruled out gang involvement, but the motive and whether the shooting was targeted have not been confirmed. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

If anyone saw suspicious activity near Tortola Way on the night of December 1, 2016, or has information that could help identify who fired the shots, please come forward.
