SACRAMENTO, CA — “At approximately 10:15 AM on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Central Patrol Deputies responded to a residence on the 8100 block of Judette Avenue in South Sacramento regarding an adult male who had been shot. Deputies arrived on scene moments later and located the victim, who had been shot several times. Unfortunately, he was pronounced deceased by Sacramento Metro Fire District personnel.
Other Deputies responding to the scene located and detained 31-year-old Billy Polk, as he matched the description a caller provided of someone fleeing from the area after the shooting.
Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators responded to the scene, began their investigation, interviewed witnesses, and began to gather evidence. Based on their investigation, Detectives learned Polk had an argument with the victim, when Polk shot the victim multiple times and fled the scene on foot.
Polk was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail for PC 187 – Murder, where he remains ineligible for bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on November 22.
Identification of the deceased will be made by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office in accordance with their protocols.”
