18-year-old Arrested In Deadly Sacramento Mall Shooting That Killed Two Brothers
Damario Beck was charged with two counts of murder for fatally shooting two brothers at a Sacramento Mall on Black Friday.
An 18-year-old man was arrested in connection to a Black Friday shooting at a Sacramento mall that killed two brothers, police announced.
Damario Beck is accused of killing brothers 17-year-old Sa’Quan Reed-James and 19-year-old Dewayne James Jr inside Sacramento’s Arden Fair Mall.
Detectives are still investigating a motive but said the shooting happened after a verbal altercation between two groups who knew each other near Forever 21.
“Based on the preliminary investigation, the shooting resulted from a verbal altercation between two groups of people that were known to each other from prior interactions,” Sacramento police said on Twitter.
The family held a press conference shortly after the announcement of the arrest.
“I lost my boys. They were good boys. I brought them a long way from Louisiana, we’ve been here a year. I took my kids out of that type of environment to bring them here to something bigger and better,” said the teens’ father, Dewayne James Sr.
The community remembered the brothers as good young men who moved with family to Sacramento in 2019 from Louisiana to give them a better, safer life. The pair had both attended Rio Americano High School. Sa’Quan was in 10th grade and Dewayne was a former student.
