One man is dead and two others are recovering after a shooting last week in a remote area north of Covelo known for illegal cannabis grows, authorities said Monday.

The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation centers on Mina and Hulls Valley roads, where the victims were found at different times and locations beginning Wednesday night.

The man who died has not been identified. The two men who survived were taken to hospitals outside the county and were in stable condition as of Monday, officials said. Both have been interviewed, though their names have not been released.

The case began around 9 p.m. Wednesday, when a 911 caller said a friend needed help, then hung up. Deputies traced the call to a rural stretch of Mina Road, about 6 to 7 miles north of downtown Covelo. There, people flagged them down and led them to a man lying in the road on nearby Hulls Valley Road, about a mile away. He was pronounced dead at 12:42 a.m. Thursday.

Deputies found several firearms, spent bullet casings, and a blood trail leading to a cannabis grow site with trailers and other structures, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Around 11 p.m., as deputies headed to the area, they were notified that another man with gunshot wounds had arrived at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley. After interviewing him and the person who drove him there, investigators determined he had been shot in the same incident.

The third victim was found around 8:15 a.m. Thursday, about four miles from the intersection of Mina and Hulls Valley roads. He was airlifted from the area.

The Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to call its tip line at 707-463-4086.
