Homicide detectives have arrested the suspect in the murder of Matthew Caquelin, 26, who was found murdered on November 25, 2015. Scot Sequeira, 28, of Sacramento was arrested by detectives on December 16th in Newman, California for the murder of Caquelin. He was arrested without incident.
A little after 7:15 a.m. on November 25, 2015, the Sheriff’s Communication Center received a 911 call regarding a body located in a field near West Elverta Road in the north area of Sacramento County. A work crew was driving by when they noticed the body and immediately notified authorities.
Sacramento Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the scene and located a male victim in the field. Sacramento Metro Fire personnel responded and pronounced the victim deceased at the scene. The victim sustained several gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Homicide detectives believe Sequeira and Caquelin knew each other, but it is still unknown why they were in a rural part of North Sacramento during the time of the murder. There is still no known motive at this time, and detectives are still trying to determine what exactly led up to the shooting.
Sequiera was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail and is currently ineligible for bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court on December 18, 2015.
