Deputies were called to assist firefighters at 4:30 a.m. June 17 near I Parkway and Forest Parkway for a man who had suffered a gunshot wound. The man was pronounced dead and later identified as 31-year-old Sherman Gage, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Sheriff’s detectives and investigators interviewed witnesses and collected evidence as part of their investigation into Gage’s death.

“From their investigation, Homicide Detectives identified 23-year-old Denisho Collins as a suspect in the homicide,” the news release stated .

The suspect was in possession of a loaded gun when he was arrested, the Sheriff’s Office said. Collins was booked Tuesday into the Sacramento County Main Jail.
