NORTH COAST, Calif. — A Point Arena man has been arrested for a Thursday homicide that was reported to have occurred during an argument.

Pan Jasper Brady, 47, was taken into custody for the murder of a 54-year-old male from Annapolis, according to a report from Lt. Andrew Porter of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.

At 8:06 p.m. Thursday, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a 911 call from Brady reporting that he had just shot a person, Porter said.

Porter said Brady reported that he had been in an argument with the victim before retrieving a handgun and shooting the victim. Brady secured the firearm while awaiting the arrival of responding law enforcement personnel.

Sheriff's deputies and California State Parks Peace Officers responded. Due to safety concerns related to the nature of the call, medical personnel staged in the area awaiting law enforcement, Porter said.

Upon the arrival of law enforcement personnel, Porter said the victim was found to have succumbed from injuries that included at least one gunshot wound.

Porter said Brady was detained by deputies and Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detectives responded to take over the investigation.

Brady was ultimately arrested and booked into the Mendocino County Jail on a charge of homicide, and an additional charge for using a firearm during the commission of a homicide. Porter said Brady is being held in custody in lieu of $1 million bail.

Porter said the identity of the victim will be withheld until his legal next of kin has been notified of his death.

An autopsy will be scheduled for the victim of this case and the official cause and manner of death will not be released until the final autopsy report is available, Porter added.

This case is actively being investigated and anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detectives by calling 707-463-4086.
