Fresno County woman one of six killed in Sacramento mass shooting, police say

One of the six people killed in a mass shooting in Sacramento over the weekend was a Fresno County woman, according to police.

The Fresno County resident was Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21, of Selma, according to the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office records.

The two other women killed were Melinda Davis, 57, of Elk Grove and Johntaya Alexander, 21, whose hometown was not immediately clear, according to coroner’s records.

The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38, of North Highlands; De’Vazia Turner, 29, of Carmichael; and Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32, of Salinas.

Police said all six victims died at the scene, when multiple shooters opened fire just after 2 a.m. Sunday near 10th and K streets. Twelve others struck by gunfire were taken or self-transported to hospitals.

No suspect is in custody, and Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester has confirmed there were multiple shooters.

A UC Davis Health spokesperson said two of the four victims it received had been discharged from UC Davis Medical Center. The other two remained in treatment at the hospital; their conditions were not disclosed.

The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office identified Harris in a statement Sunday night, then named the remaining five victims at 9 a.m. Monday.
