By Sara Beth Williams–
Citrus Heights Police officers were called to the 6200 block of Burich Avenue in Citrus Heights on Tuesday evening, after receiving a report of an unresponsive person inside a vehicle.

Police said officers arrived shortly before 8 p.m. on May 28 and found an adult male inside a vehicle who had succumbed to a gunshot wound injury.

Social media posts indicate that the incident occurred at the Greenback Gardens apartment complex located on Burich Avenue in Citrus Heights. Police did not indicate whether a resident of the apartment complex initially reported the incident, nor did the department indicate whether the deceased male was a resident of the apartment complex.

Citrus Heights Police Sgt. Joseph Aguilar told The Sentinel Thursday morning that the incident is under investigation by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office. No foul play is suspected, and there is no threat to the public, Aguilar said. The name and age of the victim have not been released.
