STOCKTON, Calif — Investigators in Stockton are still looking for answers in the deadly shooting of a teenager from 2022.

The Stockton Police Department said 19-year-old Sauci Haywood was found shot in the roadway along the 6200 block of Porterfield Court. The deadly shooting happened about a quarter before midnight on August 27, 2022.

"I need some kind of justice. I need some kind of answers," Sundae, Haywood's mother, told ABC10 months after the shooting. "I don't know what happened to my child."
