On June 12, 2023, at about 1 p.m., a shooting on the 800 block of Lampasas Avenue in North Sacramento left two men dead. The victims were 30-year-old Javonte Johnson and 24-year-old Dalano Cooper. Both were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries and later died of those wounds.

Sacramento police detained multiple people and witnesses for questioning immediately after the shooting, but said the suspect or suspects remained at large. The block is within a seven-mile stretch police have linked to nearly half of the city’s violent crime; nearby incidents earlier in May 2023 included a liquor-store shooting that injured two adults and two children.

No arrests have been reported and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone who knew Javonte or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward. Would anyone with information about Javonte or that location please share what they know?
