On May 5, 2024, 18-year-old Jeremiah Walker, a Grant Union High School senior in Sacramento, was fatally shot during a house party in the Natomas neighborhood. Officers responded about 1 a.m. to the 3100 block of Buchman Street; Walker was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Reports say the house had been rented as a short-term rental without adult supervision and that roughly 100 youths attended. A fight broke out, shots were fired, and Walker—who was not the intended target—was struck.

Walker was described as an exemplary student who had recently attended prom and was due to graduate in a few weeks; he planned to move to Alabama to support his mother. No arrests have been announced and the Sacramento Police Department is investigating. Authorities are asking anyone with information to call 916-808-5471 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at 916-443-4357; anonymous tips and tips through the P3 Tips app may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.

Does anyone who attended or knows people who were at that party have information that could help investigators?
