On April 29, 2024, 29-year-old Malik Lott, known as EBK Osama, was fatally shot in Sacramento’s Greenhaven neighborhood. The area is described as residential and has seen instances of gun violence in recent years. Lott’s death prompted public mourning, with community members lighting candles and sharing memories.

Authorities investigated the shooting and arrested two people after executing search warrants and collecting forensic evidence. Officials have not publicly released the suspects’ identities or the specific charges, citing an ongoing investigation. Lott had a prior firearms-related incident: in 2018 he and an accomplice, Khari Moore, were involved in a shooting during a marijuana purchase in Redwood City; both fled and were later arrested, and in 2021 Lott received a 12-month-and-one-day sentence for his role in the conspiracy to distribute marijuana while Moore received an 87-month sentence for his involvement including the firearms offense.

Anyone with information about the April 29 shooting is asked to contact investigators.
