SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is investigating the second shooting in less than a week that happened near the American River College Campus.

According to a press release from the sheriff's department, around 10:45 p.m., Wednesday, a 911 caller reported a man had collapsed in the street near the 4800 block of Amber Lane and College Oak Drive, less than a mile from the college campus.

When deputies arrived at the location, they found a man with "at least one gunshot wound." The victim eventually died from his injuries. 

No information about a suspect or motive has yet been released. 

The identity of the victim will be released at a later time by the Sacramento County Coroner's Office. 

On April 30, a man was found shot and killed near the northwest corner of the American River College campus. Scott Crow, the Communications and Public Information Officer for American River College, said in a statement there are "minimal students or employees currently on campus" and because of that, don't believe those currently on campus are in any danger. 

"We continue to monitor any and all safety-related issues in the communities surrounding our campuses," Crow said.
