On June 9, 2024, at about 12:20 a.m., Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies found 38-year-old Sacramento resident James Roseman with a gunshot wound in a shopping center parking lot near Fulton Avenue and Hurley Way in the Arden-Arcade area. The lot serves businesses including a 7-Eleven, 24-Hour Fitness, and Pizza Guys. Roseman was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Detectives later identified 47-year-old Joseph Demarco as a suspect and arrested him in the Arden-Arcade area earlier that week; he was booked into Sacramento County Main Jail on charges of murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, held on $500,000 bail and scheduled for court on June 20, 2024. Authorities have not disclosed a motive and the investigation is ongoing.

An online memorial page and an obituary were created; the obituary invited mourners to a viewing and funeral service on June 29, 2024, at Blessed Faith Ministry in Sacramento. Does anyone in the Arden-Arcade area have information about what happened that night?
