Jerrick Lannier Slocumb, a 31-year-old resident of Oak Park, California, tragically lost his life on May 9, 2017. On that fateful day, around 4:40 PM, Jerrick was shot and killed in front of his residence located in the 3300 block of 6th Avenue. The Sacramento Police Department responded to the scene and found Jerrick with fatal gunshot wounds. Despite immediate efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into Jerrick's death revealed that two suspect vehicles were involved in the incident. Surveillance footage captured a blue or black Dodge Charger followed by a tan or gold-colored minivan fleeing eastbound on 6th Avenue shortly after the shooting. The Sacramento Police Department released this footage to the public, seeking any information that could lead to the identification and apprehension of the suspects involved.
Despite the release of the surveillance footage and ongoing efforts by homicide detectives, the case remains unsolved. The police have been actively working on the case and have appealed to the public for any information that could help solve the murder. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the suspects responsible for Jerrick's death have not been identified.
The community and Jerrick's loved ones continue to seek justice for his untimely death. Fundraising efforts were initiated to cover the costs of transporting his body to Florida, where he was laid to rest, and to support his family during this difficult time. The Sacramento Police Department continues to encourage anyone with information about the case to come forward, hoping that new leads will eventually bring closure to Jerrick's family and friends.
