Overview
- The series of attacks occurred on Friday, May 22 and spanned locations in Napa and Lake counties, leaving one adult woman dead and another, identified by family as Meagan Stasko, shot in the back of the head and surviving.
- Stasko’s family says her vehicle was rammed repeatedly before she was shot and they have launched a GoFundMe to help pay for her recovery and care for her daughter.
- Detectives used Flock Safety automated license-plate camera images to locate a matching vehicle, followed the car on Highway 29, and officers ended the pursuit with a PIT maneuver to stop and arrest 38-year-old Coleman Rocheleau.
- Rocheleau was taken to Lake County and booked on allegations that include murder and felony torture and is reported to be held on $2 million bail, while authorities say the investigation is active and there is no known ongoing threat to the community.
- Officials have not released the identity of the woman found dead in Kelseyville or described her relationship to the suspect, leaving key questions about motive and the sequence of events as investigators continue their work.
