Arrested were Ira Blue Bowes, 19, and Gabriel Azbill Bowes, 27, according to Sgt. Scott Poma of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
At 7 p.m. Saturday, July 9, Mendocino County Sheriff's deputies and Round Valley Tribal Police officers responded to a reported shooting at the intersection of Concow and Yuki boulevards, Poma said.
Tribal Officers arrived to find Kenneth Hanover Sr., 44, of Covelo, lying in the street. Poma said Hanover had been shot in the mouth and the shoulder.
Hanover was transported by air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where his condition is listed as stable, Poma said.
Poma said the investigation at the scene revealed that a physical fight between two family groups of American Indian men had escalated until Ira Bowes allegedly shot Hanover Sr. in the mouth and shoulder with a handgun.
Bowes fled the scene on foot and was later located at a Hopper Lane address and arrested without incident, Poma said.
Gabriel Bowes is alleged to have assisted in the planning and execution of the assault, transporting the weapon to the scene and hindering the investigation, Poma said. Gabriel Bowes was arrested at a Little Lake Way address.
Gabriel and Ira Bowes were booked into the Mendocino County. Jail booking records showed that Ira Bowes was arrested for attempted murder, with bail set at $750,000, while Gabriel Bowes was booked for assault with a firearm, drawing or exhibiting a firearm, felon/addict in possession of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime, with bail set at $40,000.
