Rohnert Park Homicide: Police Search For Suspects, Pickup Truck

ROHNERT PARK, CA — Two men in a gray Dodge Dakota pickup truck are sought in connection with a fatal shooting Friday at a Rohnert Park apartment complex, police said.

"Rohnert Park DPS is currently investigating a homicide that occurred today at 2:51 PM at the Parkridge Apartments located at 4949 Snyder Lane," the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety said. "We are currently asking for the community's help locating the suspect vehicle."

The pickup truck has a black lumber rack and a white 4x4 sticker on the back tailgate and was last seen leaving northbound on Snyder Lane, police said.

Several people called 911 to report the shooting in the parking lot of Park Ridge Apartments.

Callers said multiple rounds were fired, and officers found a 29-year-old man lying in the grass in front of some apartments, clinging to life, Rohnert Park DPS Lt. Jeff Nicks said.

"The victim, whose name will not be divulged at this time, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his upper and lower body," Nicks said. "Despite lifesaving efforts by Rohnert Park emergency personnel, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene."

The victim lived at Park Ridge Apartments and police did not immediately know whether he knew the shooter.

Two men described as Hispanic drove away in the Dodge Dakota pickup truck, police said.

"One of the suspects, the shooter, was described to have 'short, spikey' hair,” Nicks said.

Detectives and crime scene investigators, who were still at the scene at 10 p.m. Friday, found multiple bullet casings along with other evidence.

"At this time the Department of Public Safety is asking the community for any information that anyone might have regarding the shooting and/or the suspect vehicle," Nicks said. "Please contact the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety Investigations Bureau with any information, 760-584-2630."
