SACRAMENTO COUNTY (CBS Sacramento) - One person is behind bars on suspicion of homicide after a man was found dead inside a Sacramento County residence.

At around 8:27 p.m. Tuesday, deputies received the call from someone at a multi-residential complex in the 9500 block of Folsom Boulevard. The caller said they could hear screaming and the sound of a struggle coming from a neighboring apartment, according to a Sacramento County Sheriff's Office statement.
