High School Student Shot After Grad Ceremony Identified as Custodian Who Was Still in Gown When He Died

A California community is reeling after a shooting following a high-school graduation left a student dead and three other people injured, including an 11-year-old.

Authorities have not publicly identified any of the victims.

The shooting took place at the end of a graduation ceremony for the Sem Yeto Continuation High School in Fairfield, Calif., on the evening of Wednesday, June 3, the Fairfield Police Department said in a statement.

An 18-year-old was killed and three people, ages 11, 20 and 25, sustained non-fatal gunshot injuries, police said.

The graduation ceremony, which was for Sem Yeto students, was being held at a Fairfield High School facility. There were about 1,000 people in attendance, police said.

The 18-year-old was still in his graduation robe when he was killed, WFMY News 2 reported.

While no one has been named, the deceased student was identified to KCRA as a custodian undertaking a work-study program at the school. The outlet did not publish the name of the victim out of respect for his family.

His co-workers honored him at a makeshift memorial at the Sem Yeto High School’s satellite campus.

“He was a good worker. He is a funny guy. He did a really good job,” fellow custodian Shawn Kalista told the outlet.

At the memorial, mourners wrote messages in chalk, one of them reading: “Fly high, angel. Forever rest in peace,” according to KCRA.

Authorities have not announced a person of interest as of Friday afternoon.

Fairfield Mayor Catherine Moy has said police are reviewing cellphone and surveillance footage as they investigate the shooting, ABC 10 reported.

“Sadly, [the shooter] got away, but they will get him,” Moy said, adding a note of caution: “Young man, turn yourself in. it is not going to be good for you to keep running, so turn yourself in.”
