SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Two people have been arrested following a crash, assault, and shooting Thursday evening in the Arden-Arcade area, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities reported that Avieon Spencer, 25, Antwon Pace, 35, and a 14-year-old juvenile were driving recklessly through a parking lot before crashing their vehicle, which flipped onto its side. Pace was injured, while Spencer and the juvenile exited the vehicle.
Bystanders filming the crash were assaulted, and one man’s phone was stolen. A female bystander was also assaulted but her phone was not taken.
During the ensuing struggle, the 14-year-old suspect pulled a firearm and fired shots, hitting one victim. A fire engine that arrived on the scene was also struck by gunfire, though no firefighters were injured.
Deputies quickly took the juvenile suspect into custody, while Spencer fled on foot. K9 units tracked and arrested him in a nearby neighborhood.
Both suspects were booked: Spencer into Sacramento County Main Jail, and the juvenile into the Sacramento County Juvenile Detention Facility. Pace remains hospitalized due to injuries but will be booked once medically cleared to face outstanding warrants.
The incident remains under active investigation by law enforcement.
