Authorities in Sacramento County are continuing to investigate a fatal shooting that occurred over the weekend in the Arden-Arcade area, as they work to identify what led up to the incident and who may be responsible.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim as 20-year-old Kaden Solano of Folsom. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to reports of a shooting on Saturday evening, January 10, near the area of Larkspur Lane and Fulton Avenue.
When deputies arrived, they found Solano seriously injured. Emergency responders provided assistance, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for medical care. Despite efforts to save him, authorities later confirmed that he did not survive.
As of midweek, investigators said no arrests have been made in connection with the case. Deputies remain focused on gathering information and evidence to better understand what happened. Officials have not yet determined whether the incident was targeted or random, and they have not released details about any potential suspects.
Investigators spent hours at the scene following the incident, examining the area and speaking with nearby residents. The sheriff’s office said this work is part of a broader effort to establish a timeline and determine the events that led up to the shooting. Law enforcement officials emphasized that investigations of this nature can take time, especially when key details are still unclear.
Authorities are asking for the public’s help as they continue their work. Residents who were in the area that evening or who may have noticed anything unusual are encouraged to share what they know. Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen or heard something around the time of the incident, even if it seemed minor at the time.
The sheriff’s office is also requesting assistance from homeowners or residents who may have security cameras or doorbell video systems in the surrounding neighborhood. Officials say footage from these systems can be helpful in piecing together movements or activity in the area before and after the incident.
Law enforcement representatives noted that tips can be provided without sharing a name, and they stressed that community cooperation often plays a critical role in solving cases like this. Even small pieces of information, they said, can help move an investigation forward.
The shooting has raised concerns among residents in the Arden-Arcade area, many of whom expressed sadness over the loss of a young life. Authorities acknowledged those concerns and said they remain committed to ensuring public safety while the investigation continues.
Officials have not released additional details about Solano’s background, focusing instead on respecting the privacy of his family and loved ones during this difficult time. The sheriff’s office said updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
Anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged to contact local law enforcement through official channels. Investigators say public assistance could be key to bringing clarity and accountability in this case as they continue their search for answers.
