Gang-Related Double Homicide Suspects Arrested

SACRAMENTO—Citrus Heights Police have arrested six gang-related suspects in relation to a double homicide that occurred last May.

On May 21, 2013, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Citrus Heights Police Department responded to multiple reports of shots fired in the 6000 block of Birdcage Street. Officers found two victims lying motionless on the sidewalk near a parked vehicle. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The two victims, Enrique Tobias-De La Cruz, 29, and Gladis Quinteros-Ramos, 41, were pronounced dead at the scene. Neither victim had any gang affiliation.

During the next 10 months, the Citrus Heights Police Department worked on the investigation with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and determined that Hispanic gang members were responsible for this double homicide, as well as several other shootings in the Citrus Heights and North Highlands area.

This investigation led to the arrests of David Javier Jaimes, 21; Alex Martinez Camacho,19; and Hayley Rogers, 21. All three are in custody at the Sacramento County Main Jail facing homicide charges for their part in the May 21st double homicide.
