Homicide detectives are investigating a murder that occurred on Oct. 16, 2023, in the 5100 block of Pacific Avenue.

On Oct. 16, 2023, at approximately 11:25 a.m., officers responded to the 5100 block of Pacific Avenue regarding a report of a shooting. Upon arrival, they located a crime scene and evidence that a shooting had occurred.
