Father fatally run over by a vehicle outside bar in Sacramento County, son facing murder charges
Sacramento, CA – Authorities have released new details regarding a violent altercation outside a Sacramento County bar that resulted in a man being fatally run over by a vehicle and his son facing murder charges.
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a report of a shooting around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday in the 4500 block of Auburn Boulevard.
Upon arrival, they discovered a man lying on the ground under a vehicle that had apparently struck him. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement.
Investigators determined that the deceased individual, identified as Oscar Alferez Sr., had been involved in an altercation that began inside the bar and escalated into the parking lot.
The initial dispute reportedly involved Alferez Sr.’s son, 33-year-old Oscar Alferez Jr., and the driver of the vehicle.
The confrontation quickly involved several other individuals.
During the physical altercation, Alferez Sr. allegedly brandished a firearm and threatened the driver. However, he was overpowered and disarmed.
Deputies said that Alferez Jr. subsequently retrieved the firearm and fired shots at the driver’s vehicle.
The gunfire reportedly prompted the driver to accelerate, unintentionally running over Alferez Sr.
Alferez Sr. was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Following the investigation, warrants were issued for murder and attempted murder against Alferez Jr.
He was taken into custody and booked into the Sacramento County Jail, where he is being held without bail.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Sgt. Amar Gandhi, stated that the actions of Alferez Jr. directly led to his father’s tragic death.
“This is a devastating incident where the choices made during a volatile confrontation ultimately resulted in the loss of life,” said Sgt. Gandhi.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office at (916) 874-5115 or submit an anonymous tip through Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-4357.

Detroit police have arrested a man in connection with a horrific triple homicide involving the deaths of his ex-girlfriend, her mother, and a 9-year-old child, whose bodies were discovered inside a burned vehicle on the city’s west side early Sunday morning.
Elauntra Sutton, a grieving Detroit resident, identified the victims as her 9-year-old daughter Ayva, her sister Kayda Sutton, and her mother Sandra Davis.
Authorities have confirmed that all three were murdered prior to being set on fire inside the vehicle.
According to investigators, the suspect — who had previously been in a relationship with Kayda Sutton — allegedly shot both Kayda and Sandra, before brutally stabbing 9-year-old Ayva to death.
After committing the murders, the suspect reportedly transported the bodies across town, ultimately setting the vehicle ablaze in the area of Milford and 30th Streets around 5:50 a.m. Sunday.
The Detroit Fire Department responded to reports of a car fire at the location. Once the flames were extinguished, three bodies were discovered inside, severely burned and initially unidentifiable.
Subsequent investigation led police to execute a search warrant at a residence on Detroit’s east side, where they uncovered a homicide scene believed to be where the murders took place.
Inside the home, officers also found a 4-year-old boy, who had been left unattended. He is a relative of the victims and is now in protective custody.
Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison expressed deep concern and outrage over the brutality of the crime. “With a case like this, it really upset me as well, and it upset our community. It can create a sense of fear,” said Bettison. “My homicide detectives worked around the clock along with the Michigan State Police. We utilized all of our assets to bring justice to this case.”
The Detroit Police Department urges anyone with additional information to come forward. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak-Up or online at detroitrewardstv.com. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to progress in the investigation.
“We will be relentless in not stopping when something like this happens,” Chief Bettison added. “Our hearts are with the family and this community as we work to ensure justice is served.”
