Search efforts continued on Tuesday for the suspect of a homicide yesterday evening in McKinleyville.

Jasen Dwain Coley, age 26, is suspected of fatally shooting an adult male victim outside of a home on the 2200 block of Silverbrook Court.

Late on Monday night, law enforcement located the vehicle believed to be associated with Coley parked and unoccupied on Trinidad Frontage Road near the Strawberry Rock Trailhead.

Since Monday night, ground and air crews have been searching the Strawberry Rock area for any signs of Coley.

Resources utilized during this search include tracking K9s, HCSO and CAL FIRE unmanned aerial systems, California Highway Patrol air resources, and rangers with California State Parks and the National Park Service.

Despite an extensive search, Coley has not been located. At this time, HCSO investigators have scaled-back the search of Strawberry Rock and the investigation is ongoing.

McKinleyville and Trinidad residents are asked to take extra precautions such as locking all doors to your residence and not opening your door to strangers. Please report any suspicious persons or circumstances immediately to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at 707-445-7251, ext. 0.
