SACRAMENTO, CA - Police have arrested 19-year-old Marquis Greenwood for the accidental shooting death of an 18-year-old acquaintance during an armed robbery Monday evening, according to authorities.
Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong said it all began just before 7 p.m. Monday when officers received a call of a gunshot victim taken to a mdeical clinic in the area of 30th and Q streets. The victim, identified as Tiekarian Troutman, 18, later died from his injuries.
Investigators determined earlier that evening, Troutman, Greenwood and a 16-year-old girl attempted an armed robber near 12th and E Streets around 6:15 p.m.
Leong said during the robber, a struggle ensued between one of the suspects and an employee of the business. At some point, investigators believe Green accidentally shot Troutman while trying to shoot an employee. Leong said Greenwood fled the scene but the girl stayed behind with Troutman.
