Oakland Girl, 16, Dies After Shooting At Midtown Sacramento Residence

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – An investigation is underway after a 16-year-old girl from Oakland was found fatally shot at a Midtown Sacramento residence last week.

Sacramento police say, back on March 17, officers were called to investigate a report of a person shot at a residence along the 2100 block of L Street.

Officers found a teenage girl had been shot at least once. Life-saving measures were started immediately, but police say the girl was soon pronounced dead at the scene.

A firearm was found at the scene, but it's unclear exactly what led up to the girl being shot.

The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the girl as 16-year-old Oakland resident Marcella Garcia.

Detectives with the Sacramento Police Department Homicide Unit have now taken over the investigation.
