Del Paso Heights News: ShotSpotter Activation at Roanoke Ave and Balsam Street — Suspect Detained, Shell Casings Found on Marysville Boulevard

In the latest Del Paso Heights News, a ShotSpotter activation brought multiple law enforcement agencies to the area of Roanoke Avenue and Balsam Street in Sacramento on Monday evening — a scene that unfolded live on scanner during a broadcast by Lance The PI. Sacramento Police Department and Twin Rivers Police Department both responded to the call.

ShotSpotter, the acoustic gunfire detection system used by Sacramento law enforcement, picked up on shots fired in the area, triggering an immediate police response. When Lance arrived on scene, officers from both Sacramento PD and Twin Rivers PD were already on the ground investigating the incident.

At the scene, a vehicle was discovered with a bullet hole, indicating that at least one round had struck the car. The reported suspect vehicle had already fled the area by the time officers arrived. As the investigation expanded, law enforcement located shell casings at the intersection of Marysville Boulevard and Roanoke Avenue, suggesting the shooting originated or continued along that corridor.

Lance filmed from inside the perimeter as officers worked the scene. During the investigation, authorities detained one suspect in connection with the incident. At this time it is not confirmed whether anyone was struck by gunfire. The investigation remained active as law enforcement canvassed the area for additional evidence.

The Twin Rivers Police Department’s presence at the scene reflects the overlapping jurisdictional boundaries in the Del Paso Heights area, where both agencies regularly coordinate on violent crime calls. The use of ShotSpotter technology allowed officers to pinpoint the location of the shots and respond within minutes.
