Isaiah Jacob Stanley, a 22-year-old Black man from Redding, California, was killed in a shooting on October 4, 2024. Known to some as "Doodles," he died alongside 30-year-old Winfred "Bookie" Avant Jr., also of Redding. Family members remembered Avant as a generous and caring person.
The violence unfolded around 2:45 a.m. in south Redding, in the area of Meadowbrook Drive and Westside Road. According to an investigative report, one of the suspects, Trevon Evanoff, got into a fight with one of the men who was later killed. A witness told police that after the fight ended, the second suspect, Andrew Greer-Herrera, allegedly pulled a semi-automatic pistol from his waistband and fired about 12 rounds. Stanley and Avant were pronounced dead at the scene. Three other bystanders—a man and two women—were also shot and taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
An intensive police investigation led to two arrests within days.
On October 6, 2024, authorities in Sparks, Nevada, arrested 18-year-old Trevon Evanoff of Redding. Two days later, on October 8, a Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office Special Response Team captured 19-year-old Andrew Greer-Herrera of Lookout near Dorris, California. Investigators stated that associates had helped Greer-Herrera evade apprehension following the shooting.
Both Evanoff and Greer-Herrera were charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of felony assault. According to police reports, witnesses identified Greer-Herrera as the shooter. The two men made their first court appearance on October 15, 2024, before a nearly full courtroom. A judge ordered Greer-Herrera to be held without bail, while bail for Evanoff was set at $500,000.
The case proceeded through the court system over the next year. In September 2025, trial dates were scheduled for both defendants. A trial readiness conference was set for March 11, 2026, with the jury trial scheduled to begin on March 17, 2026.
