On Mar. 10, 2026, at just after 5:00 pm, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office began receiving 911 calls reporting a shooting that had just occurred near the intersection of Highway 96 and Moon Lane in Hoopa.

Multiple law enforcement personnel from the Sheriff’s Office, Hoopa Tribal Police Department and the California Highway Patrol began responding and ultimately located the shooting scene and the victim. The victim, who had sustained a gunshot wound, was transported by ground ambulance to a local hospital, and ultimately transported by air ambulance to an out of the area hospital due to the severity of the injuries.

The Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Division is actively investigating this case in collaboration with our partners from the Hoopa Tribe. Multiple suspects have been identified. At this time, all suspects and firearms are outstanding.

This remains an active investigation.  Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
