On August 9, 2018, at about 9:07 PM, officers of the Eureka Police Department (EPD) responded to the Ocean View Cemetery for the report of a possible stabbing.

Upon arrival, officers located a deceased male juvenile with a stab wound. Officers secured the scene and began searching the area for witnesses and possible suspects. Detectives were also summoned.

As a result of the investigation, the suspects were soon identified as Lorna Jean Leen (38 years old) and a male juvenile. Arrest warrants for homicide were obtained for both suspects and the warrants were entered into the statewide system. The bail amount issued on each warrant was $1,000,000.

On August 10, 2018, at about 7:10 AM, officers located Leen at a campsite near the 1300 block of Bayshore Way. She was taken into custody without incident. The male suspect was located in a vehicle, near Leen’s location, and was also taken into custody without incident.

Both Leen and the male suspect were booked on their active arrest warrants. Leen was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility and the juvenile was transported to the Humboldt County Juvenile Hall.

This is an ongoing investigation and further details will be released as they become available. Anyone with information about this investigation is urged to contact Detective Sergeant Shawn Sopoaga at 707-832-5108.

Okay thanks, I thought it was just me 😕⁉️ But it also didn’t hold my comments for approval… So I kinda figured it must be a glitch. Poor Kym😥 Like she doesn’t have enough to do already ⁉️ I really appreciate your help and hard work Mrs Kym ❣️
RIP to the young man and may your family find comfort in one another ♥️

Somebody commented the junkies not able to get their drugs due to the fires
is making them crazy, causing a spike in crime; makes sense.

Condolences.

Where is the campground at the Bayshore mall?

Should just say a homeless woman and her homeless child killed someone.

Prayers for the family of this young man. These two SOB’s need to get the death penalty for their cold, heartless act. I pray this will not turn in to another “Kitchen” trial.

She doesnt have enough $upport to evade this. And where are the throngs of commenters echoing sentiment for the folks living in this squalor? I seem to recall many commentors begging sympathy and solutions for the members of these camps. Even success stories by city officials who hired someone from there. Well here is the problem. Eureka has been overrun by junkies. @mayor @supes wtf are you all doing about this? Waiting for betty chin t o solve these issues is not acceptable. Clear the camps now! Clean em up, and clear em out. Clean up your city already, it’s filthy.

I don’t understand how this mother can look at herself after helping her son, (her baby) to turn right into a monster! Helping to arrange the murder of someone else’s child, because her son couldn’t keep a girlfriend at 15. Extremely common problems for such an age, to be solved by dating some other teenage girl, NOT murdering, in cold blood, a child who agreed your ex was attractive. The mother needs to rot in prison for never giving her son the guidance needed, and instead removing him from homes where he may have learned some compassion.

Drugs, drugs, drugs…..
My hometown is in shambles. Clean it up Eureka, CALIF.
I can only hope this murder didn’t occur over my Mother’s or Grandparent’s graves.

But aren’t you the one to always point out nationality or race shouldn’t be an issue and those who make do so are evil? Hmm… must be more important to hate on people either way than have a goal.

No. Attack certainly. Sarcasm maybe in a stretch but the remarks lack humor or irony or anything else to make satire. Defining a racist as a conservative hater is simply an simple minded insult.

Maybe put Betty C. in charge of all the transient camps, at least hers aren’t this bad.
