Violent Deaths Leave South Sacramento In Shock

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Heartbreaking grief from family and friends overcome with emotion as they mourn the deaths of two Sacramento brothers who were shot to death as they walked together on Fruitridge Road.

A white colored SUV was seen fleeing the scene.

Friends remembered the pair with fondness.

"Young, funny, energized all the time--just wanted to live life," friend Lonnie Gray said. "It's crazy their life got cut short today."

As deputies proceeded the deadly crime scene, Sacramento police set up a perimeter blocks away, in the Lemon Hill neighborhood. A SWAT team went to a home where police received a tip about a shooting. A CBS13 camera captured police frisking a man before putting him in the back of a police car.

Neither police nor sheriff's deputies are confirming the two scenes are connected.

"We're trying to sort through everything right now," officer Linda Matthew said.

It's a violent attack that's left this south Sacramento community in shock and disbelief. Two young lives lost in an instant.

Friends of the brothers tell CBS13 a vigil will be held at Hiram Johnson High School Friday, where one of the brothers was a student.
