REDDING -Police made an immediate arrest in a gunshot killing last Friday.
Just after 6:00 pm the TPD received calls from motorists reporting a shooting. The incident occurred near Clear Creek Road.
Deputies from the SCSO also responded to take over the investigation. They found 37-year-old Joseph Jehonathan Gill in a field, dead from “apparent multiple gunshot wounds.”
They helf the shooter on scene – 47-year-old Brady Evan Schumacher. Witnesses identified him as the shooter.
