Roydrick Arnez Houston Jr, 19, was killed in a late-evening shooting in South Sacramento on October 17, 2025. Officers were called just before 9:30 p.m. to the 2400 block of Meadowview Road, where they found him with at least one gunshot wound. Lifesaving measures were attempted until fire personnel arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Sacramento County Coroner later identified him as Roydrick Arnez Houston Jr of Sacramento.

Detectives and crime scene investigators processed the scene and interviewed witnesses while police asked the public for tips about activity along Meadowview Road near 24th Street. The department announced the next day that 18-year-old Davian Sida of Sacramento had been identified and booked on homicide-related charges; authorities did not release a motive or describe the relationship, and investigators continued to seek witnesses. Roydrick’s death was recorded by gun-violence trackers as occurring that night in South Sacramento.

Does anyone who was in the Meadowview Road area that evening have information that could help investigators?
