On June 22, 2023, just before 3:00 PM, deputies found 29-year-old Kaelin Demi Cason unresponsive near the apartment complex at 7474 La Mancha Way in South Sacramento. Life-saving efforts were attempted but Cason was pronounced dead at the scene. The death was caused by gun violence.

Cason, who was experiencing homelessness, was known to spend time in the tunnels south of the apartment complex where he was found. Records show prior contacts with law enforcement: a December 2022 charge for violating a court order to prevent domestic violence and an arrest in May 2023 for attempted robbery and inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. As of December 2024, no arrests have been announced in connection with the homicide and Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers is offering up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Kaelin’s movements around La Mancha Way or the tunnel area on June 22, 2023, please share what you know.
