Darrell Curry, 21, a Black man from Sacramento, was shot on the evening of May 14, 2025, on Seavey Circle near Fifth Street in the Upper Land Park neighborhood. Officers found him around 8:30 p.m. with at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died. The scene covered several blocks, investigators recovered nearly 100 shell casings, and two apartments were struck by gunfire as detectives mapped bullet paths through the complex and onto nearby streets.

Police initially described a drive-through barrage with no suspect description. Within days a suspect vehicle was traced and deputies’ attempted traffic stop led to a pursuit and the arrest of 23-year-old Xavier Barron on homicide-related charges in connection with the shooting. The coroner identified Curry and confirmed his age and Sacramento residence.

What remains unsettled is the full sequence, motive, and precise roles of those involved. If anyone witnessed the shooting, the vehicle involved that night, or activity on Seavey Circle around 8:30 p.m. on May 14, contact investigators with what you know.
