On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Gang Suppression Unit (GSU) detectives were conducting proactive enforcement near Power Inn Road and 48th Avenue when they observed a sedan committing multiple vehicle code violations.

Detectives conducted a traffic stop and contacted the driver and sole occupant, identified as local “rapper” 20-year-old Malikhi Richard.

During the investigation, detectives developed probable cause to search the vehicle. Inside a duffel bag on the rear passenger seat, detectives located two loaded firearms: a Micro Draco AK-47-style pistol equipped with a loaded 60-round magazine and a short-barreled AR-style pistol equipped with a loaded 30-round magazine.

Richard was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on firearm-related charges.
