From a human trafficking sweep, to a mistrial in the K Street mass shooting case, to a look at a state worker Reddit community, here’s a rundown of the top Sacramento stories on July 21.
- A Sacramento Regional Human Trafficking Task Force operation on July 15 arrested 13 people accused of buying sex and recovered a missing child identified as a sex trafficking victim. State Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the results Tuesday, and the cases will be referred to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.
- The r/CAStateWorkers subreddit has grown more active and divisive since Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2024 return-to-office order, mixing job-hunting advice with conspiracy theories about the mandate’s motivations. State workers used the forum to raise $9,000 in under three weeks for an Interstate 80 billboard protesting the RTO order.
- A Sacramento Superior Court judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in the K Street mass shooting case after jurors deadlocked on second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter charges against Dandrae Martin and Mtula Payton. The April 3, 2022, shooting killed six people and wounded 13 in Sacramento’s deadliest-ever mass shooting.
