  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Wednesday,
• 0:15
  June 17th, 2026. Let's get to it. An arrest has
• 0:20
  been made in last week's homicide on Renee Avenue.
• 0:22
  Just before midnight on Thursday, June 11th,
• 0:25
  Sacramento police officers responded to reports
• 0:28
  of a possible deceased woman in the 2300 block
• 0:31
  of Renee Avenue. Officers located an adult female
• 0:34
  suffering from at least one stab wound. She was
• 0:38
  pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives
• 0:41
  and crime scene investigators processed the scene,
• 0:44
  collected evidence, and interviewed witnesses.
• 0:46
  Following what police described as a relentless
• 0:49
  investigation, detectives arrested 25 -year -old
• 0:53
  Rudy Hader of Sacramento, who was booked into
• 0:56
  Sacramento County Main Jail on homicide -related
• 0:59
  charges. This investigation remains ongoing.
• 1:03
  In City Watch, Sacramento County has proclaimed
• 1:06
  a local emergency in response to the growing
• 1:09
  threat of the invasive golden mussel. County
• 1:13
  leaders say the freshwater species poses a serious
• 1:16
  risk to water infrastructure, local ecosystems,
• 1:19
  and the regional economy. Native to Asia, the
• 1:23
  mussel was first detected in North America in
• 1:26
  2024 and reproduces rapidly, forming dense colonies
• 1:31
  that can clog pipes, pumps, and water conveyance
• 1:34
  systems. The emergency declaration allows Sacramento
• 1:38
  County to coordinate more closely with state,
• 1:40
  federal, and regional partners. Residents who
• 1:43
  use boats, kayaks, canoes, or other watercraft
• 1:46
  are urged to thoroughly clean their equipment
• 1:49
  between waterways to help prevent the spread
• 1:51
  of this invasive species. You're tuned into the
