Letter carrier finds 2 dead bodies in Fair Oaks driveway

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said the victims were found shot Monday morning.

FAIR OAKS, Calif. — The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is launching an investigation after two bodies were found shot in Fair Oaks.

According to sheriff's spokesperson Sgt. Rodney Grassmann, a US Postal Service letter carrier found the bodies in a driveway outside the 5100 block of Rabeneck Way.

Sgt. Grassmann identified the bodies as a young man and young woman and said that they knew each other. Nothing else about the relationship was shared.

“I’m comfortable saying that they knew each other, but I don’t know the nature of their relationship at this point," Grassman said.

He said Monday night that the department can confirm there is no outstanding suspect in the case. Although, the department has not said who fired the deadly shots.

“It may have happened an hour or more before it was actually reported," Grassman said.

Grassmann said a significant amount of blood was found along with a firearm recovered at the scene. He added that construction along Hazel Avenue may have also masked the sound of gunshots.

Deputies are trying to get a warrant to search the home and vehicles.
