THAT\u2019S COMING UP IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. KELLY THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND RIGHT NOW WE\u2019RE FOLLOWING A DEVELOPING STORY IN SACRAMENTO THIS MORNING WHERE POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING AN OVERNIGHT SHOOTING. THIS HAPPENED AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON ASHDALE COURT AROUND MIDNIGHT. KCRA 3\u2019S ERIN HEFT JOINS US NOW WITH THE VERY LATEST ON THIS INVESTIGATION. ERIN. AND IT\u2019S AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION STILL, AS OF THIS MORNING, THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. WE\u2019RE STANDING HERE AT 7:00 IN THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF\u2019S OFFICE, AND THEIR DETECTIVES ARE STILL ON SCENE. IF I STEP OUT OF THE WAY, THIS IS THAT ACTIVE INVESTIGATION. IT\u2019S AT THE ASHDALE COURT APARTMENT COMPLEX. SO WHAT WE KNOW, ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS WITH THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF\u2019S OFFICE, THEY SAID DISPATCH WAS NOTIFIED OF WHAT SOUNDED LIKE GUNSHOTS IN THIS AREA AT 1220 EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE PERSON WHO CALLED 911 WAS ABLE TO SEE THE VICTIM LAYING OUTSIDE THEIR APARTMENT, AND WHEN DEPUTIES ARRIVED, THEY FOUND A MAN WHO HAD BEEN SHOT. BOTH DEPUTIES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RENDERED MEDICAL AID TO THAT MAN, BUT ULTIMATELY HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE. NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE AT THIS TIME, HOMICIDE DETECTIVES AS WELL AS CSI INVESTIGATORS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON A SUSPECT OR SUSPECTS. WE ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE IS STILL EVIDENCE COLLECTION HAPPENING. THERE\u2019S A LOT OF PICTURES BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME, AND THEY\u2019RE ALSO SWITCHING OUT DEPUTIES AT THIS MOMENT. AND WE DID JUST SEE A CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION TEAM COME. AND USUALLY THAT IS WITH COLLECTI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>1 man dead after early morning shooting in Sacramento, Sheriff says<\/p>\n<p>The Sacramento Sheriff&#8217;s Office said its homicide detectives are investigating. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769020329_917_kcra.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"KCRA logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 9:23 AM PDT Apr 18, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA homicide investigation is underway after a man was found dead with a gunshot wound early Saturday morning, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff&#8217;s Office.The sheriff&#8217;s office said the call came in just after midnight.
