<\/p>\nSacramento Motel 6 shooting leaves one dead, search on for suspect<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHOMEOWNER GETTING THAT CALL? NO. ABSOLUTELY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU\u2019RE OUT OF STATE LIKE THAT. NOW LET\u2019S GO TO SACRAMENTO COUNTY. AND THAT\u2019S WHERE RIGHT NOW SHERIFF\u2019S DEPUTIES ARE INVESTIGATING A DEADLY SHOOTING INSIDE THE LOBBY OF A MOTEL SIX, RIGHT ALONG ELK AVENUE. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE FIND KCRA 3\u2019S MIKE TESELLE THIS MORNING ON SCENE. SO WHAT\u2019S THE VERY LATEST, MIKE? WE HAVE SEVERAL LAYERS TO THIS STORY. MIKE AND DEIRDRE, LET ME SET THE SCENE FIRST. WE\u2019RE IN THE DENNY\u2019S PARKING LOT BEHIND THE JACK IN THE BOX. AND THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT IS THE MOTEL SIX IN QUESTION. I WANT YOU TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LOBBY OF THE MOTEL SIX. THIS IS WHERE? AT 130 THIS MORNING, THE SHERIFF\u2019S DEPARTMENT SAYS A 21 YEAR OLD MAN WAS SHOT AND KILLED. BY THE TIME DEPUTIES RESPONDED, THE SUSPECT FLED. AND THAT PERSON\u2019S IDENTITY AND MOTIVE, AT LEAST PUBLICLY, IS STILL NOT YET KNOWN. DOES IT SEEM AS THOUGH THIS WAS TARGETED, MEANING PEOPLE WHO KNEW EACH OTHER AND POTENTIALLY A MOTIVE THAT MADE THIS CONTAINED TO THEM, AS OPPOSED TO A RANDOM TYPE ACT? YEAH. RIGHT NOW, IT\u2019S STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THAT. DETECTIVES ARE REVIEWING SURVEILLANCE INSIDE, WHICH WILL PROBABLY GIVE US A LOT MORE INFORMATION. THEY\u2019RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. AND THEN THERE\u2019S ANOTHER LAYER TO THIS. I WAS SPEAKING WITH A LONG TERM TENANT HERE AT THE MOTEL SIX, WHO WAS STAYING HERE WITH HER FAMILY AS PART OF THE HOMELESS SHELTER VOUCHER PROGRAM. SHE SAYS IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO, FOLLOWING THE DISPLACEMENT OF TWO DOZEN FAMILIES AS PART OF THE CITY\u2019S PROBLEMS AND ISSUES WITH ITS VOUCHER PROGRAM, THERE\u2019S BEEN A LOT MORE ACTIVITY THAN USUAL HERE AT THE HOTEL. WHAT? SHE SAID SOME SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR, AT LEAST IN HER PERSPECTIVE. BUT AT THIS POINT, AS YOU HEARD, STILL VERY EARLY IN THIS INVESTIGATION, TO DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT LOBBY HERE AROUND 130 THIS MORNING. MIKE, DEIRDRE, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF THEY DON\u2019T KNOW WHO THAT PERSON IS, WHAT WHAT ARE THEY TELLING PEOPLE? YEAH. DEIRDRE, I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT QUESTION OF THE SHERIFF\u2019S DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THEY DON\u2019T THINK THERE\u2019S ANY REASON FOR PEOPLE TO BE CONCERNED. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, POINTING OUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND BE VIGILANT. SO THAT IS THE MESSAGE RIGHT NOW, IS THIS INVESTIGATION LIKELY TO TAKE SEVERAL HOURS HERE AT THIS MOTEL SIX NEA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
