Hoopa Valley Police Believe Suspects No Longer in the Area

Facebook post from the Hoopa Valley Tribal Police:

At approximately 5:15 p.m., officers responded to reports of a shooting at the intersection of Highway 96 and Little Moon Lane. Officers located a victim who had sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was transported for medical treatment and is currently in critical condition.

Investigators have identified the suspects involved; however, no arrests have been made at this time as they continue gathering information. Gathering information is essential to the investigation to accurately identify suspects and lay a solid foundation for their prosecution. The Hoopa Valley Tribal Police Department is actively collaborating with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the Yurok Tribe as part of the ongoing investigation.

At this time, investigators want to clarify that this incident is unrelated to the previous threats involving the school that were reported earlier. This is considered a separate and unrelated incident.

The Hoopa Valley Police Department also wants to reassure the community that those believed to be involved are no longer in the Hoopa area. As a precaution, there will be an increased presence of law enforcement officers at local schools to help ensure the safety of students and staff.

Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Hoopa Valley Tribal Police Department at (530) 625-4202 or the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251.
The Hoopa Valley Tribal Police Department asks the community to keep the victim and their family in their thoughts as the investigation continues.
