On February 14, 2024, 26-year-old Chasity Sparkman was fatally shot at the Lake Crest Village Shopping Center near Florin Road and Greenhaven Drive in Sacramento’s Pocket neighborhood. Sacramento Police responded around 11:15 p.m. and found Sparkman with at least one gunshot wound; she was taken to a hospital and later died. She was a mother of two children, ages six and eight, and family described her as energetic, outgoing, always smiling, studying business and pursuing music aspirations.

Investigators later identified two 25-year-old suspects, Isaiah James and Ayonna Burgos, and both were located in New York City on March 12, 2024; they are awaiting extradition to Sacramento to face homicide-related charges. The family alleges James was Sparkman’s husband and Burgos was his girlfriend, though that relationship has not been officially confirmed. The family has launched a GoFundMe to assist Sparkman’s children.

Does anyone in Sacramento’s Pocket neighborhood remember seeing Sparkman that night or have information that could help the case?
