Sah’dell Roberts Obituary, Death News: A Sacramento teenager was killed in a mass shooting at a house party in Southern California, an incident that also left six others wounded.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reported that the shooting occurred on February 9 at around 1:30 a.m. in Woodland Hills, a neighborhood in the western part of Los Angeles. Officers responding to the scene discovered multiple victims, including one person who had been shot and was lying on the driveway of the home.
Emergency aid was immediately administered to the victim, but despite efforts to save them, they succumbed to their injuries. Authorities later identified the deceased as 16-year-old Sah’dell Roberts, a student in the Twin Rivers Unified School District in Sacramento.
The tragic news has deeply impacted the Twin Rivers school community. In response, the district issued a statement expressing their sorrow over Roberts’ death, calling it a “senseless act of violence.” They extended their condolences to the victim’s family and assured students and staff that their Crisis Intervention Team would be available to provide support during this difficult time.
Meanwhile, the LAPD has been actively investigating the shooting. According to police, the suspect was initially located in the basement of the house before the shooting began. Witnesses told KABC that security personnel or a bouncer was in the process of escorting the suspect out of the home when the situation escalated. As they reached the first floor, the suspect suddenly opened fire on the crowded dance floor before fleeing the scene.
The suspect remains at large, and authorities have launched a manhunt to locate them. Police have not yet provided a description of the shooter or a possible motive for the attack.
In addition to Roberts, six other people sustained gunshot wounds during the incident. All of the injured individuals were transported to the hospital, where they received medical treatment. Their current conditions have not been disclosed.
The shooting has left the Woodland Hills and Sacramento communities reeling, as friends, family, and classmates mourn the loss of a young life taken too soon. Local officials and law enforcement agencies are urging anyone with information about the suspect or the circumstances surrounding the shooting to come forward and assist in the investigation.
As authorities continue their search for the gunman, the tragedy serves as yet another reminder of the devastating impact of gun violence, especially among young people. The investigation remains ongoing, with law enforcement working tirelessly to bring justice to Sah’dell Roberts and the other victims affected by this horrific event.
