Tensions have escalated in the Larkfield community following a residential shooting incident that took place earlier this month. Last Tuesday, Sonoma County deputies were dispatched to the 5000 block of Arnica Way after reports that gunfire had struck an occupied home. Upon arrival, they discovered evidence of the attack in the form of multiple shotgun pellet holes marking the front door of the residence. No injuries were reported, but the gravity of the situation was immediately apparent as the search for the perpetrator began.
Investigators quickly began to piece together the events leading up to the shooting, and their diligence soon yielded fruit. The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Kelly Sullivan of Windsor. According to the Sonoma Sheriff's social media post, Sullivan was believed to have deliberately targeted the dwelling, based on evidence accrued during the probe. In what appears to be a targeted attack, detectives worked to trace the threads that connected Sullivan to the crime meticulously.
Yesterday, a week after the investigation began, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Sullivan's home. There, they uncovered the shotgun allegedly used to carry out the shooting. The discovery of the weapon at her residence served to bolster the case against her, leading to immediate legal action.
At her arrest, Sullivan was on probation for unspecified reasons. The discovery of the shotgun at her home led to her incarceration on multiple charges, including shooting at an inhabited dwelling and breaching the terms of her probation. She has been placed in custody, and bail set at $25,000.
