“The motive remains under investigation, and we would like to thank the FBI for providing resources in support of this investigation,” the Sacramento Police Department said in a statement on Saturday.
“The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete,” the X account posted earlier this summer. “CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’. Rules don’t apply if election was stolen. FIGHT!”

According to a previously lawsuit Hernandez-Santana filed, one of his previous jobs was being a health policy analyst, and it involved the implementation of Obama Care in California. When he was fired from that job in 2018, he got into a verbal dispute with supervisors, who eventually called the police on him.
He later sued for discrimination but dropped the complaint in 2020. The shots fired at the ABC affiliate station come after the network pulled left-wing figure Jimmy Kimmel from his late-night slot after he falsely suggested someone who was part of the "MAGA gang" was responsible for the Charlie Kirk assassination.
