Woman killed in shooting outside Urban Air in Arden-Arcade identified
The woman killed in a shooting outside the Urban Air trampoline park in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood has been identified.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office on Monday identified the woman as 29-year-old Samantha Sue Cromwell.
Sacramento Police said officers responded to the 1700 block of Arden Way around 3:30 p.m. Saturday and found two gunshot victims at the scene. Cromwell was pronounced dead at the scene and another woman was transported to an area hospital.
Cromwell was at Urban Air on Saturday to celebrate his son’s 8th birthday. Her family remembers her as a dynamic and loving mother.
“She loved her son more than anything in the world,” said her stepfather, Cedric Ward. “She loved my grandson DJ. She would burn the earth for him, you know. You know, that was her pride and joy. Everything was DJ.”
On Sunday, police said Edward Tucker, 36, was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on a homicide charge.
Ward said Tucker was her husband, but he believes she tried to leave him when she was killed.
“I still don’t know how he located her there,” Ward said. “I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone.”
Cromwell’s family started a GoFundMe to raise money for his funeral expenses and for his son. You can donate here.
The second woman injured in the shooting remains in the hospital in critical condition, according to Sacramento police.
Bonita Lopez, who was inside Urban Air at the time, told KCRA 3’s Denzen Cortez that the business was crowded with children and families attending birthday parties when she heard the gunshots. “It was scary. It was very scary,” Lopez said.
The shooting remains under investigation.
Tucker, a Fresno native, is not eligible for bail, according to jail records.
