A California teen was taken into custody Monday after he allegedly shot and killed two family members during an argument.
Elk Grove Police officers responded to a home on the 8200 block of Triplefin Way just after 5:30 a.m.
“Upon arrival, two people, a 51-year-old man and a 19-year-old man, were found dead at the scene,” police said.
“The circumstances leading up to the shooting were initially unclear; however, through the course of the investigation, detectives determined that the incident stemmed from an argument among family members.”
Investigators identified the shooter as 18-year-old Noah Battaglia.
“Battaglia, who had left the house before the responding officers arrived, was located approximately two hours later at a house in South Sacramento.”
The teen faces two counts of homicide. The victims’ identities are being determined by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office.
