Homicide: Domestic violence suspect arrested following fatal stabbing

By Sara Beth Williams–
Citrus Heights Police arrested a 30-year-old suspect for homicide after he turned himself in to the Sacramento County main jail on Thursday.

Around 10:15 a.m. Thursday, police officers responded to Sacramento Metro Fire Station 21 on Greenback Lane following the report of a 28-year-old woman who had been stabbed, according to an April 24 press release.

Sacramento Metro Fire personnel provided emergency medical aid, and the victim was transported to a nearby hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

Investigators confirmed the victim sustained multiple stab wounds, which led to her death, police said. Officers identified the suspect as 30-year-old Kyron Jamar Mason from Sacramento and then located him at the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he turned himself in.

The victim and Mason had been in a dating relationship, according to the release, and she had recently been granted a restraining order protecting her from Mason, who had an extensive domestic violence history. Investigators found Mason was also the restraining party in multiple other restraining orders and had several previous domestic violence arrests in Sacramento County with other victims.

Earlier Thursday morning, Mason intercepted the victim at her place of work and then violently stabbed her multiple times while she was inside a vehicle in front of the address, according to the release. Sacramento Metro Fire officials confirmed that a patient arrived at Fire Station 21 with “traumatic injuries from a violent crime assault.”

Family transported her to the fire station where personnel provided medical aid before transporting her to the hospital.

Mason is currently being held at the Sacramento County Main Jail on murder charges. Records show he is ineligible for bail
