OROVILLE, Calif. —
Detectives are currently searching for the person responsible for shooting and killing another man on Lodgeview Drive over the weekend.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) says deputies were dispatched to the 500 block of Lodgeview Dr. at around 10:25 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, regarding shots fired. Deputies then responded to the area and found a man lying in the roadway. However, despite life-saving efforts from deputies and medical personnel, the BCSO says the victim succumbed to their injuries.
While investigating this case, the BCSO says their detectives located evidence that gave them cause to believe Joseph Perkins, 54, of Oroville, shot the victim. The BCSO also says detectives located the suspect's vehicle abandoned in the Kelly ridge area later in the evening.
Detectives worked with the Butte County District Attorney's Office and obtained an arrest warrant for Perkins for one count of murder and for being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and ammunitions. Anyone with information about Perkins' location is encouraged to call BCSO at (530) 538-7322.
