Covelo Search Warrant Tied to Ukiah Freeway Shooting

The investigation into a freeway shooting that occurred February 7 on U.S. Highway 101 in Ukiah remains active, according to CHP Warrant Service Team investigation contact Officer Colton Rickard. The incident, which prompted a law enforcement response and a search warrant operation in Covelo this week, is still under review, and authorities are releasing only limited details at this time.

Rickard confirmed that during the service of the search warrant in Covelo, the vehicle believed to have been used in the shooting was seized as evidence. No additional information about the incident has been released because the case is still under investigation, he said.

A CHP helicopter was also deployed during the operation, drawing attention from residents as it flew over the area. Rickard explained that the aircraft is one of several tools available to the warrant service team, noting that using multiple resources during warrant service operations is standard practice.

Anyone with information related to the February 7 freeway shooting is encouraged to contact the CHP Northern Division office at 530-242-4300.
