Sacramento police are investigating a Sunday morning shooting that left two people dead and two others wounded.The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the victims who died as Tuan Tran, 31, and Abram Oates, 26. The double homicide took place around 1:47 Sunday morning in an alley near Seventh and K streets in downtown Sacramento. For hours, traffic was shut down for cars and also light rail between Seventh and Eighth streets and J and L streets.The shooting happened near the popular downtown ice rink where families come to skate and across the street from DOCO, the Downtown Commons area, and the Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings.“We heard gunfire,” said Jerrod Vassar, who lives nearby. “It wasn’t just a couple of shots. It was, you know, 30 shots,” Vassar said.Vassar said the fight started with a Chrysler chasing a Hyundai and then someone fired a barrage of bullets.“You heard people screaming, ‘Oh my God, he’s dead,’” Vassar said. “You heard a girl get shot in the leg. You saw her off in the corner hiding in a parking lot."Multiple bullet casings marked the scene of the shootings in an alley behind the Hardin Apartments.“I (saw) a car just kind of drive out of that parking garage area, and the guy just started unloading on the car that was leaving on the other side of the alley,” said Paul Digiordano, who woke up to the sound of gunfire. “And just a bunch of chaos, man, yelling and screaming."The overnight shootings also woke up Glen Videll at the Hotel Berry.“I just heard that multiple bam, bam, bam, bam,” Videll said. “And it sounded like a big round. It didn't sound like a pistol."Sacramento police said the confrontation that killed two men and sent a man and a woman to the hospital started at another downtown location nearby.“At this point, we believe that this stemmed from a nightclub in the area, and the investigation is very active,” said Sgt. Vance Chandler, spokesman for the Sacramento Police Department. “Our homicide team has responded out here."Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators could be seen combing through evidence overnight and into the morning hours. “Part of the initial canvass is looking for anybody who observed the incident and then also looking for any potential evidence, including any surveillance video that captured the shootings,” Chandler said.Sacramento police are asking for anyone who saw something or heard something overnight to give them a call at 916-808-5471.
