Deadly Jewelry Heist: Store Owner’s Wife Killed Amid Robbery in Sacramento

At approximately 11:45 AM on Friday, November 15, 2024, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a robbery at Kim Tim Jewelry on the 6000 block of Stockton Boulevard in South Sacramento. Deputies responded to the scene and made contact with the 67-year-old male store owner and also located his 58-year-old wife inside the store, who was severely injured with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. The female victim was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.

Sheriff’s Robbery and Homicide Detectives responded to the scene along with Crime Scene Investigators. They learned that a group of approximately 12 suspects forced entry into the business by breaking the front door and smashed jewelry display cases using hammers and pickaxes, stealing large amounts of jewelry. Detectives also learned that during the robbery, the male store owner began shooting at the suspects, when the owner’s wife was inadvertently shot, along with one of the suspects. The suspects then fled the scene with the stolen jewelry.

Sheriff’s Robbery detectives conducted further investigation into the incident and arrested brothers 22-year-old Nethaniel Fuimaono of Concord, 19-year-old Sonny Fuimaono of Suisun City, and 28-year-old Aaron Fuimaono of San Francisco. They also arrested 19-year-old Hanson Dang of Suisun City. Nethaniel and Sonny Fuimaono were armed with handguns when they were arrested on different dates. All four suspects are now in custody at the Main Jail.
