Man shot in Sacramento drive-by last week dies; sheriff decries state's mental health law that freed suspect
A man who was severely injured in a drive-by shooting last week in Sacramento has died of his injuries, authorities said Monday, with the county sheriff criticizing a California mental health law that allowed the suspect to be freed following prior convictions. The shooting happened on August 12 at about 12:15 p.m. in the area of Morse Avenue and Lerwick Way, just north of Edison Avenue in Northeast Sacramento. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said deputies arrived to find a man who had been shot in the head, and he was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The investigation determined that the victim was sitting in the back of a vehicle when he was shot from a passing vehicle. Detectives identified the suspect as 46-year-old Jason Hankins, who was located and arrested a day later after he had tried to conceal his vehicle and the firearm, the Sheriff's Office said. The unidentified victim died over the weekend, and Hawkins' charges will be amended, the office said Monday. Following that announcement, Sheriff Jim Cooper said in a social media post that California's Mental Health Diversion law, which allowed Hawkins to receive mental health treatment instead of incarceration, is "broken" and a "failed experiment." Cooper said detectives who searched Hawkins' car found a certificate showing he had "graduated" from the county's Mental Health Diversion Program, exactly two weeks to the day before the August 12 shooting. "Many times, Mental Health Diversion isn't treatment. And certainly it's not justice," said Cooper in the post. "This is a system that erases criminal records, wipes away accountability, and sends violent predators right back into our neighborhoods under the false pretense of 'rehabilitation.'" Cooper said Hankins has a long criminal history dating back to 1997 involving robberies, shootings and other gun crimes. He added that the only reason his office discovered Hawkins's previous crimes was that deputies remembered him from prior arrests. "His conviction, arrest record, and booking photo, in which he was granted diversion, were all wiped clean," Cooper said. "Mental Health Diversion was never meant for violent career criminals. Yet they're the ones gaming the system, and our communities are paying the price." Hankins remains in custody and is ineligible for bail, the Sheriff's Office said.

Durbin Park bathroom's vandalized again, local baseball league wants answers
One local baseball league is demanding answers after the bathrooms at one of the fields used by the organization were smashed into pieces. What was supposed to be a regular morning baseball practice at Durbin Park turned out to be anything but ordinary. 'We walked into the park on Saturday morning to then find the women's bathroom sinks and everything destroyed,' Shaunn Lobo said, League President of Julington Creek Baseball. 'Shattered the mirrors in the men's bathroom and shattered all of the sinks in the women's bathroom.' Lobo tells Action News Jax he got a call about the bathrooms Saturday morning and immediately went up to the field to take a look for himself. He tells me this isn't the first time something like this has happened to the bathrooms at Durbin Park. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< 'On July 4th, the next morning on July 5th, we walked into the park, and we noticed in several bathrooms in the women's and in the men's bathroom here that fireworks were set off,' Lobo said. Lobo filed police reports for both instances. He tells me that they are working with St. Johns County Parks and Recreation to try and get security cameras put in place. Now, he just hopes that whoever is doing this will be held accountable. 'We really just want to come to the bottom of this and hope that it just doesn't keep happening,' Lobo said. Action News Jax has reached out to the county for the incident reports for both of these instances. We are still waiting to hear back. It's unclear when the bathrooms will be back up and running again at Durbin Park, but we saw the county working on it.
