  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 Tuesday,
• 0:16
  March 24th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. The
• 0:20
  Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified
• 0:23
  the woman killed in an overnight shooting earlier
• 0:25
  this month as 18 -year -old Ariana Hissom of
• 0:28
  Aptos. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's
• 0:31
  Office, deputies responded just after midnight
• 0:34
  on March 15th to the 4400 block of Auburn Boulevard.
• 0:38
  When they arrived, they found a man and a woman
• 0:40
  suffering from gunshot wounds inside a vehicle.
• 0:43
  The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The
• 0:46
  man was transported to a nearby hospital. Investigators
• 0:49
  say the shooting happened as the victims were
• 0:51
  getting into a rideshare vehicle following a
• 0:53
  large gathering. Sheriffs say multiple rounds
• 0:56
  were fired into the car by unknown suspects.
• 0:58
  The rideshare driver was not injured. Deputies
• 1:02
  conducted more than 60 interviews in hours long
• 1:05
  following the shooting. But as of now, no suspect
• 1:09
  information has been released and the investigation
• 1:12
  remains ongoing. In City Watch, heads up if you
• 1:16
  travel through South Sacramento. Overnight closures
• 1:20
  are now underway at Fruit Ridge Road and South
• 1:23
  Watt Avenue. The intersection will close nightly
• 1:26
  from 7 p .m. till 6 a .m. through at least five

  Avenue Improvement Project. Detours are in place
• 1:35
  with drivers advised to use Florin Perkins Road
• 1:38
  or Hedge Avenue to get around the closure. The
• 1:41
  project will ultimately widen Watt Avenue from
• 1:45
  two to four lanes between Florin Road and Jackson
• 1:48
  Road, adding bike lanes, pedestrian access, and
• 1:51
  transit improvements. I put a link to the full
