Adrian Carter, a 16-year-old male from West Sacramento, California, was fatally shot on April 30, 2025. The incident occurred at Summerfield Park in the early afternoon, around 1:55 p.m., when officers responded to reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, law enforcement found Adrian Carter suffering from gunshot wounds. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the following morning.
The tragic event shocked the local community, as residents described the park as a typically peaceful area frequented by families and children.
Following the shooting, authorities launched an investigation that led them to a suspect. Detectives executed a search warrant at a residence in Sacramento County linked to the case. The suspect was subsequently located and arrested before being booked into Yolo County Jail. Officials initially withheld the suspect’s identity, but later reports confirmed that 19-year-old Adrek Miramontes of Yuma, Arizona, was charged in connection with the crime. Miramontes faces one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. The charges stem from his alleged use of a firearm, causing great bodily harm, and discharging a weapon from a vehicle.
Miramontes remains in custody without the possibility of bail. He waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing, with his next court appearance scheduled for May 9 for a bail review hearing, followed by a pre-hearing conference on June 17. The case has drawn significant attention, as officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Community members have expressed their grief and concern over the violence, emphasizing that such incidents are rare in the area.
