On October 14, 2019, Rosey Vang, aged 49, was tragically killed in a double homicide in Dorris, California. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning in the Pleasant Valley Highlands area, a rural region located about three miles northwest of Dorris. Rosey Vang, originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was visiting Mor Hang, an 81-year-old resident of Dorris, who was also a victim in the attack. Both women were found with multiple gunshot wounds, and their deaths were ruled as homicides following autopsies conducted in Yreka.
The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a possible robbery and shooting at a property on Hilltop Road. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the two women, with one of them still alive but critically injured. Despite efforts to revive her, she succumbed to her injuries at a local fire station. The other woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation revealed that the attack was not believed to be random, and authorities have been diligently working to uncover the motive and identify the perpetrators.
Despite extensive efforts by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, no suspects have been arrested in connection with the double homicide. Investigators have been following leads and gathering physical evidence, which is being forensically tested and analyzed. The Major Crimes Unit detectives have been conducting interviews and re-interviewing individuals who were in the area at the time of the incident. However, as of now, the motive for the shooting remains unclear, and no arrests have been made.
The community of Dorris has been advised to take precautions, such as securing their residences and vehicles, and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office continues to urge anyone with information about the case to come forward.
