The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the 19-year-old man who was shot to death in a south Natomas parking lot Thursday afternoon.
He was identified as Francisco Flores, 19, of Sacramento, according to the coroner's website.
The shooting, which occurred in the parking lot of a small shopping center at Northgate Boulevard and San Juan Road at about 4:45 p.m., also left Flores' 20-year-old brother with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, police said.
Two suspects, described as a white male adult and male adult Pacific Islander, both with shaved heads, fled the scene in a light blue truck, said Sacramento Police Department spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong.
Police believe the shooting stemmed from an exchange of words between the two parties, Leong said. Officers responded to reports of shots fired at the shopping center at 4:45 p.m., and located the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Flores was pronounced dead at the scene, Leong said.
Police had not determined why the victims or suspects were at the shopping center, or what the two groups were arguing about, Leong said.
