Sacramento County man convicted of murder for shooting in his apartment complex

A Sacramento County jury on Tuesday found a man guilty of second-degree murder in a shooting seven months ago in the parking lot of an Old Foothill Farms apartment complex . Robert Anthony Abeyta, 38, was convicted in the deadly shooting of 48-year-old William Earl Atkins, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office announced in a news release. Along with the murder conviction, the jury found Atkins guilty of being a convicted felon in possession of a gun, along with an enhancement for using a gun in Atkins’ death. The deadly shooting was reported about 12:20 a.m. April 18 at the apartment complex in the 4600 block of Ashdale Court, just north of Myrtle Avenue. The dispute between the two men that escalated to gunfire started earlier that night. Prosecutors said Abeyta called the Sacramento County sheriff’s non-emergency line twice that night to report that Atkins was acting erratically and bothering other residents at the apartment complex. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the first call and could not find Atkins. After calling the Sheriff’s Office a second time, Abeyta confronted Atkins in the parking lot, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said a neighbor’s doorbell security camera captured the confrontation when

Editorial: Apparently, Following the Rules in Brentwood Makes You a Sucker

Just when you think the Brentwood City Council can’t possibly make itself look any more ridiculous, along comes the downtown tattoo ordinance. The original idea was pretty simple: allow tattoo establishments to operate legally in downtown Brentwood. Establish reasonable regulations, create a permitting process, and give businesses an opportunity to succeed.

Sacramento finally sees Califia. Can the city get her the help she desperately needs?

The city government of Sacramento, from Mayor Kevin McCarty to paramedics, wants to save 33-year-old Califia Carlisle from more than a decade of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness. But in assembling its effort, the city discovered that there was no record of Carlisle in the official Sacramento County homeless database, despite that she has been swept for years from illegal homeless encampments and arrested for panhandling near the Home Depot off Folsom Boulevard. Officially, it was as if Carlisle had never existed. “She is hiding in plain sight,” said 69-year-old Christopher Carlisle, Califia’s father, who attended a recent briefing with city and county staff about his daughter. There are nearly 6,000 homeless people in Sacramento County’s Homeless Information Management System, or HMIS. Sacramento Steps Forward is the nonprofit group that manages the database. Califia’s absence from county records illustrates the fallibility of homeless record keeping in California. It’s why Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claim that homelessness has decreased by 13% in the last two years should be viewed with skepticism. The HMIS database, like the biennial count conducted on a single day in January, is flawed because people experiencing homelessness are difficult to count, and the methods used to track

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid!

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location
