BOLO for Red Tundra and shooting suspect sought by EPD

On June 15, 2023 at approximately 6:20 p.m., officers with the Eureka Police Department (EPD) were dispatched to 20/30 Park, 2500 block of California Street, on a report of gunshots fired at that location.  

Officers learned while in route to the call that the suspect, described as a black male adult, late teens, thin build, last seen wearing a green and yellow hooded sweatshirt with a white t-shirt underneath, blue “skinny” jeans, and a black ski mask with only the eye holes cut out, left the vicinity traveling south on California Street in a red Toyota Tundra.  Officers checked the vicinity for the suspect vehicle while other officers responded to the park.  The vehicle and suspect have not been located at the time of this press release.

The investigation, at this point, has revealed the suspect parked on California Street at the entrance to the park and exited the vehicle.  The suspect entered the park and fired three (3) rounds from a handgun and then fled back to the truck.  The truck was occupied by an unknown number of additional subjects.  No one was injured during the shooting and it appears this was not a random act, but a targeted attack against other individual(s) who were already at the park. These individuals left prior to officers arriving on scene and have not contacted EPD to make a report.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be a 2012, Red, Toyota Tundra, double cab (4-door truck), with black door handles.  The truck appears to be primarily stock and has large, chrome, 5-spoke rims.  A photo of the suspect’s truck obtained during the investigation is attached to this release.
