[UPDATE 8:50 p.m.: “[W]e are investigating this matter as a homicide.”] Man Shot Near Fieldbrook Cutoff, Suspects Reportedly Flee the Scene
Around 7:25 this evening, emergency personnel responded to reports of a gunshot wound victim in the Glendale area (east of Arcata). Scanner traffic indicated the male victim had been shot with a small-caliber handgun in his lower abdomen. He reportedly is located approximately 100 feet down a trail “near the cutoff to Fieldbrook.”
CPR is in progress.
Initial scanner reports described two suspects seen fleeing the area in a vehicle: a black male adult with short hair and a white female wearing a pink sweater. The two fled in a newer black luxury vehicle possibly a BMW.
Law enforcement is investigating the incident. This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
Please remember that this story is unfolding. Information is being reported as we gather it. However, some of the information coming from witnesses and initial official reports could be wrong. We will do our best to get the facts but, in the case that something is inaccurate, we will update with correct information as soon as we can.
UPDATE 8:50 p.m.: According to Lt. Jesse Taylor, the victim has succumbed to his injuries. “[W]e are investigating this matter as a homicide,” he told us. He described the suspects to us: “So we are looking for a black male adult, 5’8” to 5’9”, stocky build, with shaved head. Second suspect is described as a white female adult wearing a pink sweater.” He also said the suspect vehicle is “a black or dark luxury type car. Possibly a Mercedes or Audi.”

Kim, do you have to allow this sort of sick presumptive commentary to continue? Racist and sexist all rolled into one hateful spew.
Hell, these guys are
like the two old guys in the balcony on the muppets. First here every article to throw their bigoted MAGA crap in the ring.
Doubling down on a bad case of TDS?
Do you really need Kym to protect you from getting your feelings hurt? She can do whatever she wants with her site and it would be reasonable to moderate those comments, but whining for censorship is almost equally unsavory.
Clearly you have a taste fof it. The sSFB in question is a perpetual sewer. I usually roll past but it becomes wearisome to see the same hateful idiot spouting diarrhea of the brain.
God forbid free speech..oh I said god..my bad they/them
Unless someone is on moderation, I don’t see their comments before they post.
Someone tragically loses their life to some scumbags violent actions and you are worried about getting your feelings hurt? Self entitled much?
My feelings aren’t at issue. Someone did get killed and you used it as an opportunity to assume and accuse. SOS for you.
You guys don’t even know what happened so hush please
Strange to think this county used to have predominantly modest blue collar values.
this article highlights a particular circumstance that is disproportionately stereotypical, encapsulating the ratchet and degenerate ghetto culture that has been sold to ailing modern Americans.
we need a complete cultural overhaul.
victory gardens and frugality.
remember grandma’s world, remember grandma’s skills and revive them.
the capitalist/communist market place offers security only to paid members
Ok….then you go find those two that are gallivanting the countryside, fresh from a murder and inform them that you don’t appreciate the stereotype they’re playing into and you’d appreciate it if they’d just knock that of.. Kthxbye. and Mr. C, you’re not helping either.
Grandma’s world and skills are what brought us to where we are. Romanticize the “greatest generation”, the “boomers” and their lackadaisical attitudes towards sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) and basic lack of foresight. Make cute the giant blind spot they possess when it comes to acceptance of responsibility for where we stand. Or, the where the rest of us are standing in anyhow.
Oh this is rich..you wouldn’t even be here without the Grandmothers in your life. Stop whining and complaining and blaming, cultivate the strength and fortitude your ancestors brought to their lives. I’m sorry that life is SO HARD that you have to blame your Grandma.
And what is it “your” generation is doing about it? Zero and zip.
Every single generation makes major mistakes that the next inherits.
Yes the narcissism and greed of the last nearly 50 years has trended upwards hitting a peak eruption and spewing hot lava over everyone. “Everyone” getting their “15 min of fame” as someone once predicted before the internet, more than 50 years ago did not include the entitlement and disregard for civic duty etc etc. that would come with that “Fame”.
Generation before created the nuclear bomb and dropped a couple and had open and defended, systemic racism sexism etc. – of course their children gonna be messed up too.
Your generation’s short sightedness is being bitter young and feeling entitled to not have to work hard for a good life and calling people (vs their behavior) toxic and dropping relationships on a dime, cancel culture pertains also to your personal and professional relationships; a variation of narcissism you inherited and then hacked.
Self awareness and commitment to community/ : the first generation to get on board with those might make some significant progress and do less damage
Have you ever considered that aspect of history, how every generations ‘progressives’ strive to upset the status quo and present a diametrically opposed way of thinking and if they win then the new view is somehow people always should have been like they are in the NOW, this tyrant of the now is flawed in the sense that we can chart tbat much of what makes life good is less present in the now, somehow they are both backward thinking and always wrong but also they had the best life and squandered it. There is some mystery here i dont claim to intuit the whole thing but it does cause me to doubt progress and wonder what did we really leave far far in the past, sure we see the things they thought that we strongly disagree with but what about the whole basket of things we see value in why did they also go the wayside?
The murder and violent crime rate was far higher 50 years ago. Grandma was a killer
We need to get rid of the internet.
I’m starting to think the same thing. What a cluster.
No doubt a statewide bolo should be issued, surely the suspects are on their way back to Oakland or LA as we speak. I pray to God that their caught and are convicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of law. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened. Took his weed, abducted him, walked him out to the woods and shot and kill him. There is absolutely no honor amongst thieves. I hope they catch these POS and throw away the key. My heart and deepest sympathies, and condolences go out to his family.
I agree. They probably tortured the poor guy the entire way from Oakland. Thought they could get away with it “up in the sticks”. Well we don’t play up here so look out blady and pink sweater.
I swear people these day’s. Reading the comments reminds me of 2 little kids aging with each other. Remember that saying, I know you are but what am I? That’s what it reminds me of.
I’m taking my toys and going home…
So many racist comments
we know what you mean by terms like ‘ratchet’ ‘ghetto’ ‘oakland’
your white hood is showing
Have a blessed day✌️
You admonish a poster for racial terms but yet back your statement up by using one yourself. Racism works in both directions.
Statistics do not lie
Lies, damned lies, and statistics
You might as well admit it… Dope = Violent Crime.
—
Yee hah !
Incidents of Violent crime are far lower than they used to be and dope more prevalent than ever; correlation casual ?
Dope related crime violent crime can be on the increase, while overall violent crime can be on the decrease. They are not mutually exclusive.
But, why the hell would anyone defend either?
Meanwhile the biggest criminals on the planet sit in congress, the white house and the supreme(sic) court engaged in the biggest criminal conspiracy on earth….we being the victims. We all have way bigger things to worry about than some knifed idiot.
Drugs are GOOD !!! Just ask the Arcata City Council !!!!
Well violent crime is a term whose definition is political and changes. Especially in California. On the other hand, the definition of homicide stays the same.
Looking at that, you are not right. There was a spirt of homicides in the 1970 through 1990 (baby boomers adolescence) but even the homicides in 2019 show a rise over rates of 1950.
“U.S. murder/homicide rate per 100K population for 2021 was 6.81, a 6.02% increase from 2020.
U.S. murder/homicide rate per 100K population for 2020 was 6.42, a 28.78% increase from 2019.
U.S. murder/homicide rate per 100K population for 2019 was 4.99, a 1.14% increase from 2018.”

So far, marijuana hasn’t been listed as a factor. Not saying it isn’t but making assumptions can lead to errors.
Heck ya, yay to YN’s
