Man killed in North Highlands shooting found in office complex, Sacramento deputies say

Homicide detectives were investigating the shooting death of a man Monday morning who was found in the parking lot of a North Highlands office complex.

The deadly shooting was reported around 2:15 a.m. in the 3300 block of Myrtle Avenue, between Roseville Road and Watt Avenue. The slain man was found near the rear entrance of a small office complex.

A 911 call reporting the shooting was first sent to California Highway Patrol dispatchers before being transferred to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. CHP officers were the first to arrive at the scene of the shooting and found the man suffering from a gunshot wound.

Deputies arrived moments later as CHP officers provided first aid, sheriff's officials said in a news release. Paramedics from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District arrived shortly after and pronounced the man dead at the scene.

Sheriff's homicide detectives and crime scene investigators were speaking to witnesses and gathering evidence at the scene. Sheriff's officials have not released a description of the suspect.

The Sacramento County Coroner's Office will release the man's name after his family is notified.

Detectives asked anyone with information about the fatal shooting to call the sheriff's office at 916-874-5115 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at 916-443-4357.
