Just another reason to love this beautiful city of Rancho Cordova!
At least the shooting wasn’t in Rancho Cordova, he just fled here.
Yea Dave, because crime never happens anywhere else. I hope he is found soon.
Susan….just happens A LOT more here in RC! Even though the shooting didn’t happen here look where he ended up. RC attracts criminals!
Dude caught in a south Sacramento apartment….must’ve caught a ride out of RC during the chase.
