On Friday, March 24, 2023, at approximately 4:44 am, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SSO) received a call regarding an armed robbery at the Chevron gas station situated at the intersection of El Centro Road and El Camino Avenue in North Sacramento. The patrol deputies of SSO immediately responded to the scene, where they discovered that the suspect had entered the gas station wearing a mask and armed with a shotgun.
