  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,
• 0:16
  January 14th, 2026. Let's get you caught up.

  In Sacramento, officers were on scene following
• 0:22
  a shooting near Evergreen Street and Arden Way
• 0:25
  that left one dead and another in critical condition.
• 0:28
  Road closures remained in place for a couple
• 0:30
  of hours as the search for the suspect continued.
• 0:33
  That suspect was detained by SWAT around 11 p
• 0:36
  .m. In another incident from last night, Sacramento
• 0:39
  police set up a perimeter in the 2800 block of
• 0:42
  Unity Point Avenue while searching for a suspect
• 0:45
  with an outstanding warrant believed to be possibly
• 0:48
  armed with a knife. SWAT and crisis negotiators
• 0:51
  were called in as officers worked to get the
• 0:54
  suspect to surrender peacefully. Residents were
• 0:57
  asked to avoid the area as the situation unfolded.
• 1:00
  The Sacramento Police Department has not updated
• 1:02
  its exit count as to the status of that suspect.
• 1:06
  And just after 1 .30 a .m. at 10th and L Streets,
• 1:10
  a sergeant spotted a vehicle driving the wrong
• 1:13
  way on a one -way street. When officers attempted
• 1:16
  to stop, the driver took off, leading police
• 1:18
  on a brief pursuit. The suspect eventually yielded
• 1:22
  and was determined to be intoxicated. An arrest
• 1:24
  was made on related charges. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:29
  County Board has new leadership team. On Tuesday,
• 1:33
  supervisors elected District 4's Rosario Rodriguez
• 1:35
  as chair for 2026 and District 5's Pat Hume named
• 1:40
  vice chair. Rodriguez says her focus this year
• 1:44
  is urgency, accountability, and results for residents.
• 1:48
  The chair and vice chair serve one -year terms,
• 1:51
  leading the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.
• 1:55
  Your Wednesday's forecast feeling a little mysterious.
• 1:59
  Dense fog sticks around through late morning,
• 2:01
  so take it slow before 11. Clouds hanging out,
• 2:04
  then sun makes its move this afternoon, warming
