On October 4, 2024, at about 2:41 a.m., a shooting near the Westwood Village Shopping Center in Redding, California, left 22-year-old Isaiah Jacob Stanley and 30-year-old Winfred Avant Jr. dead. Three other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Mercy Hospital.

Isaiah, known as Doodles, was active in the local bike life scene and remembered by friends and family as charismatic, humble, and someone who brought people together through his enthusiasm for riding bikes. Law enforcement launched an investigation that led to arrests: 18-year-old Trevon Evanoff of Redding was taken into custody in Sparks, Nevada, on October 6, 2024, and 19-year-old Andrew Greer-Herrera of Lookout, California, was captured near Dorris on October 8, 2024. Investigators alleged Greer-Herrera was the primary shooter; both were charged with serious counts including first-degree murder and felony assault. Their initial court appearance was on October 15, 2024.

Isaiah’s passing clearly affected the community, and friends and family gathered to honor his memory. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Isaiah, please share what could help the ongoing investigation.
