SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — One person is in custody after a man was shot five times in the south Sacramento area this week, authorities said Tuesday evening.

Rand Hawkins, Jr., 56, was booked into the main jail on a single count of assault with a deadly weapon and is being held on a bail of $75,000, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said.

Two ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection system, activations happened just before 7:30 p.m. Monday in the area of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and 48th Avenue. When deputies arrived, they located the 48-year-old man who had five gunshot wounds.
