A suspect connected to two suspicious deaths in the area of the Ettersburg Junction has been
arrested in Chico.
24 year old Ulisses Rodriguez of Chico, was detained by the Chico Police Department early Monday, following a traffic stop near the intersection of Esplanade and East Eaton
Road in Chico. Rodriguez was later arrested and booked on a no bail warrant for two counts of homicide, criminal threats and exhibiting a firearm, in connection to the Humboldt County deaths. Rodriguez will be transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for prosecution.
The two victims, a 31-year-old female and a 32-year-old male, are pending positive identification
through DNA analysis. Humboldt County SWAT and Sheriff’s Office investigators also served a search warrant on Aug. 20 at a property on China Creek Road in Southern Humboldt to gather evidence related to the
deaths. The investigation is ongoing.
