Michael Sambrano was 14 when he died on May 4, 2014, during an attempted burglary at a residence on Arcade Boulevard in Sacramento. He and another teenager broke into the home about 12:20 a.m.; the 67-year-old homeowner, who had reported multiple recent break-ins, confronted them and fired a weapon. Both teens were killed; Michael’s mother identified him shortly after the incident.

Police linked fingerprints from an April 20, 2014 burglary of the same house to one of the deceased, and the homeowner reported that a purse, keys and jewelry had been stolen during earlier break-ins on April 20 and April 29. The Sacramento Police Department deemed the shooting justified under California self-defense law, and the homeowner was not charged. Family and friends of the teens disputed the necessity of the lethal response and voiced grief.

Are there people who knew Michael or the other teen who can add details about their lives or the events that night?
