Five years after a hit-and-run in Rocklin killed 30-year-old Trevor Swahn, the case remains unsolved, and his family continues to seek answers. On the anniversary of the crash, Rocklin police renewed a public appeal for information that could help solve the investigation.
The department asked anyone who may have seen something that night to come forward and encouraged residents to review dashcam or surveillance footage. Investigators emphasized the ongoing pain of the Swahn family and noted that even small details could provide crucial leads, according to the Rocklin Police Department on their X account.

What Investigators Say About the 2021 Crash
Officers said they responded at roughly 10:50 p.m. on Feb. 4, 2021, and found a man, later identified as 30‑year‑old Trevor Swahn, lying in the roadway on Sierra College Boulevard near Schriber Way. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe the vehicle that hit him drove off and that the car or truck likely had front‑end damage, according to details reported by KAHI.
Family’s Plea and Reward
The Swahn family has repeatedly said they deserve answers and closure after years of waiting with no arrest. As reported by CBS Sacramento, Rocklin police and supporters worked to assemble a reward that was reported at roughly $30,000 last year to encourage tips. Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers separately notes a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest. Family members and investigators continue to urge anyone who knows anything, no matter how small it seems, to come forward.
Legal Consequences For a Hit-and-Run
Under California law, leaving the scene of a crash that causes injury or death can be prosecuted as a felony. Vehicle Code §20001 requires drivers involved in collisions that injure or kill to stop, provide aid, and exchange information. Violations can bring prison time and fines, and prosecutors can seek additional enhancements when a crash is fatal. The exact penalties depend on the circumstances of the case and any prior convictions.
How To Share Tips
Anyone with information, dashcam video, or other potential evidence from that night is asked to contact Detective Infante at (916) 625‑5461 or the Rocklin Police Department’s non‑emergency line at (916) 625‑5400, according to local reporting. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at 1‑800‑AA‑CRIME or via its online portal. Rocklin police say even a detail that seems minor could be the missing piece in a case that has remained unsolved for five years.
