Unhoused man accused of killing 74-year-old Carmichael man, Sacramento County officials say
An unhoused man is accused of killing a 74-year-old Carmichael man in what the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office on Thursday called "an unprovoked and senseless homicide." Darin Chastain, 54, was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on homicide charges and is being held on no bail, the sheriff's office said. He is believed to have been under the influence at the time of the homicide. The sheriff's office said the homicide happened at 8:44 p.m. in the 6200 block of Kenneth Avenue. The victim was identified as James C. Raleigh. Dispatchers got a call from someone concerned about a man, later identified as Chastain, standing outside of a neighbor's [Raleigh's] home screaming and throwing rocks at the garage door.
