On December 7, 2023, 21-year-old Benjamin Markus Sapp of Sacramento was fatally shot outside The Trap, a bar at Riverside Boulevard and 43rd Avenue in the Greenhaven neighborhood. The shooting happened around 1 p.m.; witnesses reported a confrontation involving four men, at least one of whom brandished a firearm. Two gunshots were heard and Sapp was found with gunshot wounds. A Good Samaritan took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The owner of The Trap, Mariah Lukenbill, described a chaotic scene and said the suspects seemed to be trying to remove Sapp from a vehicle before the shooting. Sacramento police have opened a homicide investigation, are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage. No arrests have been announced and the suspects remain at large. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
