Following a thorough investigation into the October 3rd shooting death of Mark Calcagni, the Santa Rosa Police Department's Violent Crimes Investigations Team (VCI) has announced the arrests of two individuals connected with the homicide. As per the SRPD News Release, detectives named 43-year-old Richard Lund and 25-year-old Asia Morton, both residents of Dublin, CA, were the suspects taken into custody in relation to the case. The victim, once known as the manager of an adult entertainment venue in San Francisco, was shot in the early morning hours; Lund is believed to be the perpetrator of the shooting, with Morton implicated for allegedly aiding in the planning.
SRPD revealed that both suspects had a professional connection to the victim, having worked where Calcagni was managing. After arriving on a flight at San Francisco International Airport, Morton was apprehended by detectives, adding to the drama of their investigation. A search warrant at the suspects' Dublin residence was executed, with the hopes of uncovering evidence to shed more light on the motivations for the attack. The public has been asked to provide any additional information via the SRPD tip line.
On a related note, the Santa Rosa Police had previously confirmed to the public that a man found with fatal gunshot wounds on Brookwood Avenue was the subject of a homicide investigation, as per a report shared on Hoodline.
