Police continue to investigate the unsolved homicide case involving Little Jane Doe – who was found murdered in an abandoned building in 1983, and who has not yet been identified. Visit www.SLMPD.org to learn more about this case, and others, and see how you can help.
Just after 2:30 a.m., District 4 officers were on a call when they heard multiple gunshots. At the same time, 911 calls came in regarding a shooting in the area of 10th and Market.
An adult man, in his mid 20s, has been pronounced dead at an area hospital. Five additional victims, believed to be in their early to mid 20s, were either transported by EMS or privately conveyed to area hospitals with apparent gunshot wounds. Homicide has been called to investigate.
It’s early in the investigation, but we believe fights broke out between women in the park. At some point, men became involved and firearms were pulled. At least one firearm was recovered from the scene but it’s too soon to know if it’s involved in the shooting.
An adult woman was arrested after assaulting an officer on the scene.
A couple hours before the shooting, officers were called to the area about a group of people at 10th and Market. Officers responded and cleared the group around 12:30am.
