ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - The suspect in the November Z Town Gastro Pub shooting that resulted in two homicides has been taken into custody.

On Nov. 2, 2025, at approximately 1:30 a.m., the Elk Grove Police Department responded to the 8400 block of Elk Grove Florin Road at Z Town Gastro Pub regarding a report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers located three victims suffering from gunshot wounds. One victim died at the scene. Fire personnel transported the remaining two victims to a local hospital. Shortly thereafter, it was discovered there was a fourth victim who had transported themselves to a hospital.

One of the victims transported by fire personnel later succumbed to their injuries. The remaining two victims recovered and were subsequently discharged from the hospital.

During the investigation, detectives identified the suspect as 43-year-old Roderick Randall.

Detectives were notified late last week that Randall is currently being held on federal charges for providing false information to federal law enforcement officers in Texas.

The Elk Grove Police Department and the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office are working closely with federal officials. Once Randall’s federal case concludes, he will be extradited to Sacramento County, where he will be booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on an active arrest warrant for two counts of homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and felon in possession of a firearm. Randall’s booking photo will be released once he is booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.

The Elk Grove Police Department will continue to provide updates to the community as this investigation progresses. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call the Elk Grove Police Department Communication Center 916-714-5115.
