  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 Thursday,
• 0:16
  January 15th, 2026. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:19
  An update to Tuesday's shooting in Sacramento.
• 0:22
  Police say two people are now dead after gunfire
• 0:25
  near Evergreen Streets and Calvados Avenue. The
• 0:28
  female was pronounced dead at the scene. The
• 0:30
  male later died at the hospital. And investigators
• 0:33
  say his gunshot wound appears to be self -inflicted.
• 0:36
  No suspects outstanding as this investigation
• 0:39
  continues. And elsewhere. A serial copper theft
• 0:43
  suspect is in custody after overnight operations
• 0:46
  near light rail tracks. Deputies with the Sacramento
• 0:49
  Regional Transit arrested 51 -year -old Jesse
• 0:52
  Jeremiah, recovering 18 strands of stolen copper
• 0:56
  wire and burglary tools. Investigators say the
• 0:59
  theft caused more than $73 ,000 in damages. Jeremiah,
• 1:04
  already on probation with an active felony warrant,
• 1:07
  is being held without bail. And in a separate
• 1:11
  incident, one man is recovering after a stabbing
• 1:14
  in Sacramento's Midtown last night. Police responded
• 1:17
  just after 7 p .m. near I Street and 10th. The
• 1:21
  victim is expected to survive and a person of
• 1:24
  interest has been detained as the investigation
• 1:26
  continues. And happening overnight, a woman is
• 1:31
  dead from a gunshot wound. This happened at A
• 1:34
  Street and Ahern. At this point, there's no additional
• 1:37
  information. This is an active homicide investigation.
• 1:41
  Officers are still on scene and asking for anyone
• 1:45
  who has information to come forward. In City
• 1:49
  Watch, Sacramento County is marking a major equity
• 1:53
  milestone. First Five Sacramento has approved
• 1:56
  over $4 .1 million for 35 first -time community
• 2:01
  -based organizations funding programs in 27.
• 2:05
  high priority zip codes. The grants were decided
• 2:09
  through a participatory community -led model,
• 2:12
  putting parents and local leaders at the center
• 2:15
  of early childhood investment. And weather, mostly
• 2:19
  cloudy this morning, then clears out this afternoon
• 2:22
  with a high near 60. Tonight, we'll have partly
• 2:25
  cloudy and cool low around 41 with calm winds.
• 2:30
  And events, this is your last week to hit the
• 2:33
  downtown Sacramento ice rink. After more than
• 2:36
  30 years, the rink wraps up its season at Ali
• 2:40
  Youssefi Square, right outside the Golden Wind
• 2:43
  Center. If you've been meaning to go, now's the
• 2:47
  moment. Lace up, laugh a little, and enjoy the
• 2:50
  final glide before the ice melts. Also, vendors,
• 2:55
  heads up. The Downtown Sacramento Partnership
• 2:57
  is now accepting 2026 summer vendor applications.
• 3:03
  The window runs from January 12th through February
• 3:06
  13th with approvals announced in early March.
• 3:10
  This covers all downtown summer events and space
• 3:14
  is limited. So if you want in, now is the time
• 3:17
  to apply and get your paperwork ready. That's
• 3:21
  all for today's Sacramento Brief. You'll find
• 3:24
  the links to today's events in the show notes.
• 3:26
  I'm Carol. Thank you for trusting me with your
• 3:29
  morning. Be safe, stay sharp, and I'll see you
• 3:32
  tomorrow.
