SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The Sacramento Police Department has arrested Jazz Curry, 20, for the murder of Tralane Thomas earlier this week outside an apartment complex in what investigators say was a drug deal gone bad.

On Monday at 7:08 p.m., officers responded to a call of a man who had been shot in the 100 block of Bicentennial Circle off Howe Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered the 19-year-old victim with gunshot wounds to his upper body. Medical personnel declared him deceased at the scene.

During the course of the investigation, several subjects were contacted and detained, one of which was Curry.

Detectives believe that Thomas and Curry were meeting to conduct a drug transaction. At some point during the meeting, Curry shot and killed Thomas, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at (916) 264-5471 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or text in a tip to 274637 (CRIMES). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
