Detectives have made an arrest in a shooting that left a man dead in south Sacramento late Tuesday afternoon.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office says, around 4:30 p.m., deputies responded to 39th Street and Mascot Avenue for reports of a shooting.

At the scene, deputies found a man had been shot several times. He later died at the hospital, the sheriff's office says.
