MCSO responded this morning to a call about physical assault at a Point Arena bar. The discovery of the deceased turned this into a homicide investigation. Mendocino District Attorney investigators and a criminalist from the California DOJ assisted MCSO at the crime scene.
MCSO Press Release:
On 09-24-2023 at 2:08 AM Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Deputies were dispatched to a reported physical assault in Point Arena, California.
The Sheriff's Office received a telephone call from a family member reporting that they had learned that their family member (adult male) had been physically assaulted while at a bar in the City of Point Arena. This physical assault had apparently occurred hour(s) prior to the call to the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies arrived in Point Arena and began searching for the adult male, subsequently locating him on Ten Mile Cut Off Road, a significant distance away from the bar.

No further information is available for public release at this time due to the active investigation.
