RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. -- A memorial march to honor three teens killed in a weekend shooting took place Monday through the streets of Rancho Cordova.
Several police and sheriff's cars were parked in front of Cordova High School and Mills Middle School Monday, following Sunday's fatal shooting in a nearby neighborhood of Rancho Cordova.
Officers searched and briefly detained at least two young people on Monday. An officer on scene told KCRA 3 the two appeared to be wearing possibly gang-colored clothing. No one was taken into custody.School district officials said they had not confirmed that any of three victims were students at the school. Nevertheless, they said extra counselors and administrators were on hand."I've spoken with parents personally who are concerned about what's going on," said Folsom-Cordova school district spokesman Stephen Nichols. "And they're very happy to know that police are here, that school is going on and that we've added some support."Family members identified two of the victims as Jamir Miller and Richard Ward, also known as "Bubba."
The killings occurred Sunday afternoon in the front yard of a condominium on Malaga Way. Officials said the teens were riding their bikes when they were gunned down.Friends and classmates placed flowers and balloons Monday morning at a growing memorial on the sidewalk. One girl, who did not give her name, said she was the girlfriend of one of the victims, a 16-year-old whom she identified as Richard."He was a good person, went to school, had hecka friends, hecka family," the girl told KCRA 3. "That was the love of my life. That's my heart right there. Now that he's gone I don't even know what to do."She added that Richard had no enemies. "I don't know why this happened to him. I don't know why this happened to any of them."Officials have not said if the shooting is gang-related, but neighbors said they fear that some retaliation may take place.At about 9 p.m. Sunday, another shooting occurred nearby. Two victims were sent to a hospital. Authorities did not say if the second shooting appears to be related to the first attack.
