Sacramento County Coroner's Office officials have identified the victim in Wednesday night's homicide as Curtis James Anderson, 20, of Sacramento.
Anderson was shot dead in a Florin-area apartment complex late Wednesday, according to authorities.
Sacramento County sheriff's deputies responded to the 6700 block of Sunnyslope Drive about 11:30 p.m. after 911 calls reporting gunshots, said Sgt. Tim Curran.
Deputies arrived and found a 20-year-old man inside the Willow Pointe at Lindale apartment complex with at least one gunshot wound to the head.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
Through the course of their investigation, detectives learned the victim argued with someone who then chased him before the shooting, Curran said.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear, he said.
The suspect fled the apartment complex on foot, then in a blue sedan, Curran said.
The suspect is described as an African American man between 35 and 40 years old, 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall with a slim build, Curran said. He was wearing all dark clothing.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at (916) 874-5115 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP. Callers can remain anonymous and might be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
