SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – A man arrested in connection with a shooting and stabbing on a Sacramento college campus said the man killed in the violence was his cousin.
Rico Ridgeway told the Sacramento Bee (http://bit.ly/1O5DJu9) in a jailhouse interview that he and his cousin, Roman P. Gonzalez, had just finished classes at Sacramento City College on Friday when a fight against two other men broke out.
“I just wanted us to go home. That was it,” he said. “I was going to drop him off at home, and then go to work. Then I would see him later.”
Police said the fight escalated when a knife and gun were pulled out.
Gonzalez was killed, and Ridgeway, who suffered a graze wound, was arrested on suspicion of stabbing and seriously wounding another student.
