A 33-year-old man, who police say was shot to death after a fight broke out at a party in south Sacramento early today, has been identified as Oquitzin Bravo, according to Sacramento County Coroner's Office online records.
The victim was shot in the abdomen and taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to the Sacramento Sheriff's Department.
The shooting, which wounded another person, is still under investigation and no arrests have been made, said Sgt. Tim Curran, a sheriff's spokesman.
The second man, 30, suffered at least one gunshot wound to his upper body and was transferred to a local hospital where authorities said he is expected to survive.
Deputies arrived at a home in the 5600 block of 47th Ave. shortly after 2:30 a.m. today and found two men wounded by gunfire.
Witnesses said the men were attending a party in the home when they fought with at least one other partygoer. During a fight, an unidentified man drew a handgun and fired several times at the victims, Curran said. The suspect fled on foot.
Witnesses described the suspect as a 6-feet tall white man with a skinny build, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
