Jeremy Southern Death | Obituary – Jeremy Southern was shot and killed by the police. Family and witnesses raised questions Wednesday about the fatal shooting of a man by Sacramento police officers. The shooting happened Tuesday in the quad area of an apartment complex near Sacramento State University Tuesday, according to a police department press release.
Police said officers were at the complex to follow up on shooting from earlier in July. While at the scene, an officer spotted a man matching the description of the previous shooting because of a “distinctive visible tattoo.” After officers identified themselves as police, the man allegedly grabbed a gun from his bag and pointed it at the officers, police said.
Police said that, when he did not comply, one of the officers shot him, hitting the suspect “at least once.”
The man later died at a hospital. Sacramento police and the coroner’s office have yet to release the identity of the man killed, however, Ida Southern told ABC10 that the victim was her brother, Jeremy Southern.
