(FOX40.COM) — A Sacramento County judge sentenced Salvador Vasquez-Oliva to death Thursday morning, bringing an end to the case of a quadruple murder in the South Land Park neighborhood of Sacramento that took place in early 2017.

Suspect arrested in connection to DOCO homicide, police say
Although California technically has the death penalty, the state has not put an inmate to death since 2006.
Vasquez-Olivia was arrested in March 2017 after the deaths of his wife, two children and his niece.
The four bodies were discovered in a home by police who were fulfilling a welfare check requested by a family member.
