Sacramento woman found guilty of murdering her husband

SACRAMENTO, CA - A woman was found guilty of hiring a man to kill her husband Wednesday afternoon.

Shajia Ayobi was convicted of first degree murder of her husband Ghulam Ayobi in December 2011, Sacramento County District Attorney spokesperson Shelly Orio said.

Sacramento police responded to Interstate 80 at Norwood Avenue after getting a call of a man who was shot in the upper body on Dec. 19, 2011. Ghulam Ayobi was then transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, where he later died.

Originally, Shajia Ayobi told police that her husband was carjacked, forced to drive on I-80, pull over on a Ayobi's own testimony that was most damaging. However, Orio said during the investigation, police found that Shajia Ayobi had hired a hit man to kill her husband.

Jury foreman Matthew Smalley said it was some of Ayobi's own testimony that was most damaging.

"The defendant admitted to contracting to murder her husband," Smalley said.

Suspected burglars evade police in overnight search

SACRAMENTO - The search for two people police say broke into a Sacramento home and stole some electronic devices turned up empty Monday morning.

Officers at the scene near 24th St. and U St. said a person called police around 3 a.m. after they claimed to have seen the individuals enter their neighbor's home while the neighbor was sleeping.

Police arrived and saw two people, appearing to be men, walking away from the home. When the men spotted the officers, they fled, said police.

A perimeter was then established to search for the suspected intruders, but nobody was located.

The perimeter was taken down and the scene cleared by 4:39 a.m.

A laptop computer and Sony Playstation video game system were stolen in the burglary, said police.

The individuals who fled were last seen wearing dark pants and grey hoodies, according to police.

Police sketch posted in American River Pkwy. attempted rape

SACRAMENTO, CA - If you recognize the man depicted in this police drawing, you're asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. The man tried to rape a woman as she jogged on the American River Parkway equestrian trail last month, authorities say.

The attack took place on March 26 at about 11 a.m. as the woman ran between Watt and Howe avenues, said sheriff's Sgt. Jason Ramos. She was grabbed from behind by a man and forced to the ground. She told deputies the man tried to further assault her but her screaming for help sent him fleeing.

The assailant was described as white, in his late 20s to early 30s. He was between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall with a slim build. He had a scruffy, blond beard and a moustache.

At the time of the attack he wore a long-sleeved, olive green t-shirt, and black and gray pants. He had on a red baseball cap and sunglasses.

The woman reported he rode away on black mountain bike with white detailing.
