Victim’s Name and Suspects’ Photos Released in Klamath Shooting

Sunni Jo Grant

The victim of Monday’s shooting in the town of Klamath is Sunni Jo Grant, age 37, according to Commander Bill Steven of the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office. Grant resided in Klamath but family members say she had formerly lived in Eureka.

Information about what occurred yesterday morning has not yet been released but a family member explained that Grant had been getting her son, a second grader, ready for school a little before 6 a.m. The suspects had a dispute with another member of Grant’s household outside the home, said the family member, when one of the suspects fired a gun. The shot struck Grant in the chest.

Grant was able to walk a few steps to get help before she collapsed. Unfortunately, said the family member, the remote area meant that it took a while before emergency services arrived. She died on the floor of her home.

Meanwhile, the four suspects fled in a pickup towards Eureka. A California Highway Patrol officer spotted the vehicle and it was pulled over not far north of the Arcata Airport near the exit to Crannell. According to an earlier interview with Commander Steven, a weapon was found. Steven also said the four suspects (see photos above) were arrested, and a child who was in the vehicle went into the custody of Child Protective Services.

Family members of Sunni Grant are very upset. One told us, “The town of Klamath can have a casino but you can’t get help for your people…They don’t have any type of emergency service at all…Maybe it is possible that she could have been saved. She could have at least not had to suffer.”

So, one of these folks fired the gun into the house to make their point, or they fired at the other family member, the bullet entering the house. Either way it was a dick move.

It is getting worse. To many people are dying. Lately I can not read the news or FB without some form of crime. It is even taking our young. There is no excuse for killing and taking someone’s family away.Sorry for your loss.

Never move to Los Angeles. Their news is one homicide after another. Always has been and probably always will. “Little red light on a highway, big green light on a speedway, hey-hey!”

Its really not Emma. Oh the human race as a whole is losing empathy, yes. But this is still a good and beautiful place. We are simply flooded with news and ‘info’ 24-7 now. Avoid it when you can, and you will see the vast majority are still good peaceful people. There has always been s-bags like these.

Blank lifeless stares from POS like this, no reason to rehabilitate. Send them to prison, that is where they are meant to be. Past posts suggested that we not invest in more prisons, jails. I would much rather my tax dollars go to building more facilities to house these worthless scums, then have it spent of programs to rehabilitate. Bull Shit, enough is enough.

Lock them up!! Or better yet, let the family of the slain woman do what they want.

You got it !!!! Our courts, and people who believe it is societies fault for criminal behavior, will bury us. We cannot say our jails are full, so criminals should be arrested and released. Jails cannot have a ‘NO VACANCY’ sign on them. If it takes more jails, then so be it. Criminals cannot be allowed to take over our lives.

Blessings to the family, what a horrible thing especially in front of her son.
In her honor people need to demand emergency services in that area.
The familys right, they build a casino but dont have emergency services close by?????

Remember folks: self defense is one thing but deciding to use deadly force in a situation that does not warrant it is just plain wrong. Don’t do it. Medicate with the high-C oil if necessary, but find a way to chill out. This ain’t the East Coast yet!

@Mogtx,
Don’t be a troll just because you are faceless and protected by your pseudo anonymity while commenting. Read the story and than, if you don’t grasp what’s being reported by Kym and others, read it again. No where does any story state this woman was ‘hanging out’ with these cretins.
Do you need someone to highlight pertinent areas and email them to you for your consideration before you post the next misrepresentation that occurs to you?
Get a heart and a pair of reading glasses before you comment again.

A gun shot to the chest has a high chance of being fatal unless your in the ER when you get shot. And then…. not playing Dr. GOOGLE here. The scene needs to be declared safe by police before the emergency responders get taken out also. That is policy. 20/20 being what it is I don’t believe any of the suspects would think twice about shooting at a fire truck or ambulance. Think it is bad now with emergency services ? Just wait til 101 is traveling with the fish and we’re waiting 4 -10 years for the highway to be rebuilt. Emergency service will be a helicopter ride if you can get one. Weather permitting. Or a hour ride to Mad River Hospital. Oh and Cal Trans or our government, will they care ?
Nope because they are waiting for EMERGENCY MONEY to rebuild 101 and then shit will get fixed really quick… wait in am talking about government…

My cousin was a victim, if she would have survived they would have taken her to suttercoast. And yes 101 is bad that way to…and you are right about shots fired no firetrucks or ambulance would have come but Klamath has neither….. You are lucky to get cell service to call for help….its a bad situation for our family. I thank the Del Norte sheriffs for responding..

Yup, the emergency services will be scarce. I’m so sorry to hear about this in our “community” where there is so much love and support. I can pray, and I will.

The victim was not innocent one of those men was stabbed….they thought they were brought there to help someone move…but some ignorant racist punk stabbed a guy for no reason…honestly I would have killed someone too for stabbing me,the guy had to protect himself I’m sure he has family that loves him too

Cannot imagine the confusion and fear the poor child is going through right now. Losing his mom. Being kidnapped. Having strange people take him into custody. Ugh. My heart breaks. Hopefully he gets a great family or his relatives to care for him.

Small communities rely on volunteers to run their fire department and emergency response. I hope this, and other recent emergencies, drives home the need for more community members to become volunteer fire fighters and EMTs in Klamath.

Wait…

Those dudes aren’t from Klamath!

Heck, they’re not even from Gold Beach…

Possibly, they have a friend hanging out with pelicans along the bay up the road from CC, but I dunno…

Rap music & devil’s lettuce need to be deported after building a wall…

Think of the money saved if a wall is built and our longtime jail people are dropped into mexico, with a shoot on sight if they return?

Building a wall and using Mexico as a prison, only makes sense.

Apparently a member of her “extended family” got into an argument with these people who have no respect for anyone else, thinking it is acceptable to shoot just because they believe that using a gun is the way to be respected themselves. The internet is chock full of people like that- so full of bluster that they feel threatening to harm others for offending them is a reasonable opinion. They have no social skills and get away with it so often that they encourage the spread of violence.

So to all those who post generic threats letting the world know that you are so special that you can offer to take some one out in any of myriad ways people post- this is were it ends up. Someone better that you dies. Realizing this makes it easy to define evil.

It was intentional to some degree. She speaks of it all like nothing. Skipping bail… this is not her first murder charge. I unfortunately had to meet her and with no knowledge of who she is, was surprised go hear her speak of things. She is a wannabe thug native tweaker who thinks she is invincible and can do whatever she wants. She will scare, threaten, manipulate anyone
She can to make them help her. Even if it means that person loses everything. She won’t give them an option to say no. One if the ugliest people I have ever met. She has no remorse for this woman’s death at all and has no intention of changing. He’ll, she’s. Currently running around Crescent City acting like she owns the place, yet cowardly hiding from the law
