  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's

  December 11th, 2025. Let's get you caught up.

  Sacramento police have made an arrest in a September
• 0:22
  homicide downtown. Just after 11 p .m. on September
• 0:25
  2nd, officers found a man with severe blunt force
• 0:29
  injuries near 11th and K Streets. He was taken
• 0:33
  to the hospital but did not survive. Homicide
• 0:36
  detectives took over, and after months of follow
• 0:39
  -up work, they've identified 18 -year -old Dominic
• 0:42
  Curtisgreen of Carmichael as the suspect. He
• 0:46
  was arrested on December 9th and booked on homicide
• 0:49
  charges. The coroner's office will release the
• 0:52
  victim's name once the family has been notified.
• 0:55
  And while detectives were closing that case,
• 0:57
  patrol officers were handling trouble elsewhere
• 1:00
  in the city. Late Tuesday night in the 4800 block
• 1:04
  of Kokomo Drive, officers spotted a recently
• 1:08
  carjacked vehicle and tried to pull it over.
• 1:10
  The driver took off and led to a brief pursuit.
• 1:15
  before the car slowed and several suspects bailed
• 1:18
  out on foot. Officers set a perimeter and quickly
• 1:22
  tracked down three of them. All were arrested
• 1:25
  on related charges. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:30
  County is moving forward with a major housing
• 1:32
  initiative. Supervisors just approved a multi
• 1:36
  -year plan to launch a flexible housing pool.
• 1:40
  a coordinated system that links rental assistance,
• 1:43
  housing navigation, and supportive services for
• 1:47
  Medi -Cal members at risk of homelessness. The
• 1:51
  program creates a centralized hub, partners with
• 1:54
  local health plans, and brings brilliant corners
• 1:57
  to manage subsidies and landlord support. It's
• 2:04
  positioned Sacramento as a statewide leader in
• 2:07
  connecting housing and health care ahead of the
• 2:10
  new CalAIM requirements for 2026. In weather,
