EPD Press Release:

On February 18, 2020, at about 7:22 p.m., officers with the Eureka Police Department were dispatched to a residence at the 2200 block of Union Street for the report of a family disturbance.

While officers were responding, it was reported that a male had been shot.   Officers arrived on scene and located a 17-year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound.  Officers performed lifesaving efforts until Humboldt Bay Fire and City Ambulance arrived.

The male was transported by ambulance to the hospital where he ultimately succumbed to his injury.    Based on the investigation, Detectives with the Eureka Police Department have arrested the victim’s mother Pamela Faye Millsap (38 of Eureka) for involuntary manslaughter.

Millsap was transported and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.    An autopsy is scheduled for later this week.  The juvenile victim’s name is being withheld at this time.  This is an active investigation and additional details will be released as appropriate.  Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Corrie Watson at (707) 441-4032. 

 *On February 19, 2020, at about 6:40 a.m., Humboldt Bay Fire responded to a structure fire at the same residence on the 2200 block of Union Street.  Based on the initial investigation it appears the fire was accidental and unrelated to the manslaughter.
