On June 1, 2025, Paul Miguel Quiroz, 26, of Sacramento was shot while riding in a vehicle near Broadway and 28th Street shortly after 12:30 p.m. Officers found a man in his 20s with at least one gunshot wound and rushed him to a hospital with life-threatening injuries; a second victim, a man in his 40s, later self-transported and was expected to survive. Witnesses said a masked gunman leaned out a window and fired multiple rounds before fleeing.

Investigators found a black Toyota Camry riddled with bullets on the driver’s side and later tied both a Toyota Camry and a Nissan Armada to the shooting. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased three days later as Paul Miguel Quiroz, 26. Detectives arrested 19-year-old Vernon Carl Jordan of Carmichael in mid-July on suspicion of murder in connection with the June 1 shooting; booking information shows a murder count with Sacramento police listed as the arresting agency.

Anyone who saw the attack or has information about the vehicles involved is asked to come forward.
