The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office announced Friday that a man has been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting in Rosemont earlier this week.

Around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, deputies and the Rancho Cordova Police Department were called to an apartment complex on the 4000 block of South Watt Avenue near Jackson Road on reports of a shooting. Deputies said a caller heard two shots and saw a man had been shot.

After arriving on scene, they found the victim, identified as a 28-year-old man.

First responders rendered medical aid and the victim, who was taken to the hospital. The victim later succumbed to his injuries and died.

During the investigation, homicide detectives were able to identify a suspect.
