🌱 Sac Shooting Suspect Arrested + New Elementary School For Antelope

Rise and shine, Roseville!

It's Tuesday, and you need to know what's happening today in our fair city. You came to the right place.

So, let's get to it!

First, today's weather:

Hold on to your hats, neighbors! Temperatures in the ‘Ville will be on a wild rollercoaster ride again this week with fluctuations between 91 degrees expected on Thursday and 62 predicted for Monday. The word of the week is: “layers.”

We’ll be pretty comfortable today with an expected high of 75 degrees and an overnight low of 48. The sun will be shining, and winds will be pleasant at around 10-15 mph.

Here are the top five stories in Roseville today:

1. As of press time Monday, one suspect had been arrested in connection with the mass shooting in Downtown Sacramento early Sunday morning that left six people dead and 12 injured. Dandrae Martin, 26, was booked on assault with a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. Sacramento Police continue to look for what is suspected to be multiple shooters involved in the incident. Hoping to aid the investigation, a Lodi-based nonprofit, the Luis G. Alvarez Jr. Rewards for Justice Inc., has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to any remaining suspects. (Patch Media and FOX 40)
2. As Roseville continues to grow, mostly to the west and south, a new elementary school slated for 4601 Upland Drive will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on April 7 at 10:30 am. Rex fortune Elementary School will be part of the Center Joint Unified School District serving the Antelope community. The 13.2-acre campus site will have 40 classrooms teach approximately 1,000 students upon completion. (Roseville Today)
3. COVID-19 hospital cases are down across the nation, rivalling the low infection rates not seen since the early days of the pandemic in 2020. Two Sacramento area hospitals, U.C. Davis Health and Mercy Hospital Folsom, both reported having two consecutive days of zero COVID patients in their intensive care units. Dr. Parimal Bharucha, a Dignity Health pulmonary critical care physician thinks we may be seeing the “light at the end of the tunnel,” but still encourages vigilance and safety precautions. (ABC 10)
