SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento police are investigating a shooting that left two men dead early Sunday morning in Natomas.

Sacramento police said in a statement that the men died at the scene.

Activist Berry Accius told ABC10 that he knew the victim when he started in the DJ scene and saw him achieve his dream.

“My heart goes out to his family and all the loved ones and all his fans and all the people that are devastated... it just shows you again, gun violence cares not about your name, your color, your occupation. Gun violence is here in our community. It's in suburban areas, it's in urban areas it's in, it's in hoods, (and) it's in beautiful places that you never thought gun violence would be,” Accius said.

The other victim hasn't been identifed.

Sacramento police told ABC10 that at this time there is no information that the shooting is related to last week's shootout on K Street that killed 6 people.

Sacramento Police said, “Aside from identifying the deceased as adult males, we have not released, nor confirmed any information regarding any involved persons. The identification of deceased individuals is provided by the coroner’s office.”

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them by one of these ways:

  • Contact the dispatch center at (916) 808-5471
  • Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-4357
