CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake Oaks man wanted in connection to a shooting last month has been taken into custody, with police still seeking a second suspect.
On Monday, Tyler Bradfield Koho, 27, surrendered himself at the Lake County Jail and was booked on a count of attempted murder, according to Sgt. Nick Bennett of the Clearlake Police Department.
Just after 9:30 p.m. March 11 Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Old Highway 53 on the report of a shooting, Bennett said.
Initial police reports had indicated one person had been wounded, but Bennett's latest report said there were two victims. One, a 20-year-old Clearlake man, was shot in the stomach; the second, a woman, suffered facial injuries as a result of the shooting, but was not actually hit directly by a round from the firearm.
Shortly after the incident, police identified Koho as the suspect, with the followup investigation leading police to identify 41-year-old Clearlake resident Charles Lamont as also being involved in the shooting, Bennett said.
Based on the investigation, Bennett said warrants were issued for both Koho and Lamont by a Lake County Superior Court judge. The warrants charged both men with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, with bail set at $1 million on each.
As a result of arrangements made by Koho's attorney and Clearlake Police detectives, he surrendered himself at the jail on Monday, Bennett said.
Bennett said the warrant on Lamont is still outstanding.
Lamont is considered to be armed and dangerous, as Bennett said he is aware of his outstanding arrest warrant on attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon charges.
The victims in this case have since been released from the hospital, Bennett said.
Anyone with information in relation to this case is encouraged to contact Det. Ryan Peterson at the Clearlake Police Department at 707-994-8251, Extension 320.
