THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH CONFIRMATION OF BRADEN'S CONNECTION TO THE CASE.
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Monday the Clearlake Police Department arrested one of its identified persons of interest in a fatal Saturday night shooting that killed a child and left five other people wounded, and took another man into custody on similar charges in the case.
Orlando Joseph Lopez, 23, of Clearlake Oaks was arrested by Clearlake Police Officer Mike Ray at 5:30 p.m. Monday, according to Lake County Jail booking records.
Lopez was arrested for one count of murder, and five counts each of assault with a firearm on a person and attempted murder. His bail was set at $500,000.
Another man who Clearlake Police hadn't so far identified publicly in connection with the case was taken into custody early on Monday for similar charges.
Officer Mike Ray arrested Paul William Braden, 21, of Clearlake Oaks just after midnight on Monday. He was booked on single counts of murder, assault with a firearm on a person, attempted murder plus a felony parole violation, which triggers a no-bail hold.
Braden had previously been taken into custody by the Lake County Sheriff's Office in May for a felony probation violation, according to jail records.
On Tuesday morning Clearlake Police confirmed that Braden's arrest was a result of the investigation into the shooting.
In a report issued earlier in the afternoon, interim Clearlake Police Chief Craig Clausen had identified Lopez as the second “person of interest” in the case after identifying the first, 29-year-old Kevin Ray Stone of Clearlake, the day before.
The shooting incident – with the most victims of any shooting case in the city's history, police confirmed – occurred shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday at a location on Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.
Four-year-old Skyler Rapp was fatally wounded, and his mother, 22-year-old Desiree Kirby, remained in critical condition at UC Davis Medical Center on Monday, according to hospital officials.
Police on Monday also identified the other shooting victims, including 25-year-old Ross Sparks; his brother Andrew, 23; 19-year-old Ian Griffith; and a 15-year-old male who police did not name.
UC Davis Medical Center spokesperson Dorsey Griffith said Monday that Ross Sparks had been discharged, his brother was in fair condition and Griffith was in good condition. Details of the juvenile taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital were not immediately available.
A candlelight vigil for Skyler Rapp and his family is planned for 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 22, in Clearlake's Redbud Park.
Booking records indicate that both Lopez and Braden are set to appear in court for the first time that same day.
Still sought in connection to the case is Stone, who is described as a white male adult, 6 feet, 1 inches tall, weighing approximately 165 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
If anyone knows of the whereabouts of either man they are asked to contact the Clearlake Police Department at 707-994-8251. Callers may remain anonymous.
