Eighteen-year-old Daani Partridge was fatally shot on June 23, 2024, near his home in the Marina Vista housing complex on the 2700 block of 5th Street in Sacramento. The shooting happened around noon; Partridge was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. He had recently graduated from Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy, had just turned 18, and hoped to become a barber. Family and neighbors remember him as a positive influence in his community.

By late August 2024 the Sacramento Police Department arrested seven people in connection with the case. Five defendants — 18-year-olds Tashion Brown and Calvin Warr, 19-year-olds Romell Brooks and Khamari Stroman, and a 17-year-old male — were charged with homicide-related offenses; Warr also faced robbery charges. Separately, 25-year-old Dejon Paradise was arrested for a parole violation and 48-year-old Tyron Moore was detained on outstanding warrants and firearms-related charges. Investigators say the inquiry is still active and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
