Sgt. Amar Gandhi, a spokesman with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, said the husband shot and killed his wife at the Oakwood HOA complex. A third person’s body was also found at the scene.
The husband was identified by the coroner as Larry Brown, 56, who died by suicide. His wife, 45-year-old Jennifer Evans Brown, died in a homicide, the coroner said.
