SACRAMENTO-

The family and friends of Michael Burdan should not have to spend the Thanksgiving holiday holding a candlelight vigil in the Del Paso Heights neighborhood where he was killed.

“Everybody loved my brother. He was a sweet guy,” said Michael’s older sister Laura Burdan.

Michael, 19, was riding his bike Tuesday night in the area of North Avenue and May Street. Sacramento police say Michael was the random victim of a shooting.

“I just can’t believe somebody would do that to him,” said Michael’s girlfriend Deana McDaniel.

Police are hoping anyone with information about the shooting will call their office.
