On June 22, 2024, at about 5:15 p.m., a shooting on Cucamonga Avenue near Granite Park in Sacramento left a man with at least one gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries on June 24, 2024. The victim was identified as 21-year-old Kyrese Savon Kane Washington, born July 28, 2002, in Sacramento.

Washington had prior encounters with law enforcement; a February 2021 Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office arrest charged him with discharging a weapon in a grossly negligent manner, resisting an officer, and carrying a loaded firearm in public. As of December 26, 2024, no arrests have been announced and police have not released information on suspects or a motive. Detectives describe the investigation as active and are asking anyone with information to contact the Sacramento Police Department.

Memorials and online tributes have appeared as friends and family remember Washington. Does anyone have information about what happened on Cucamonga Avenue that afternoon?
