At least one person has died following a shooting in Covelo, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Friday.
Early Thursday morning around 5:40 a.m., the MCSO sent out Nixle alerts advising Covelo residents that Hulls Valley Road had been closed due to an “ongoing investigation,” and that a patrol unit was “parked at each end of Hulls Valley Road to assist people who reside in the affected area.”
Nearly 12 hours later at 4:20 p.m. May 15, the MCSO issued another alert to “Cancel (the) Situational Awareness,” reporting that there was “no further action needed at this time. The incident has been resolved and the alert is now canceled. Use caution as personnel may still be in the area.”
When asked for more information, MCSO spokesman Quincy Cromer said Friday morning that the alerts were “related to a shooting investigation, and there is one confirmed deceased. The incident is continuing to be investigated, and additional information will be provided in an official press release.”
Also this week, the MCSO announced it has promoted deputy sheriffs Brandon Lee and Aaron Clark.
In a Facebook post, the MCSO explained that “Lieutenant Lee will command the Sheriff’s Coastal Sector, and Lieutenant Clark will command the Central Sector to include the Ukiah region and surrounding communities. Both Lieutenants have long and distinguished law enforcement careers leading up to their promotions.”
In the post, Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall “expressed his gratitude to Lieutenants Lee and Clark for the work and sacrifices they have made to earn their Command positions,” noting that “Sheriff’s Lieutenants act on behalf of the Sheriff of their assigned sectors, and will be responsible for all patrol functions of the entire region for which they command.”
Kendall also “recognized recently promoted Legal Specialist Ines Cowen, and introduced two new employees: Corrections Deputy Omar Martinez Damian, and Community Services Officer Ulises Valencia Muniz.”
