On March 17th, 2021, at approximately 1:15 PM, Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the Pomo Pump Gas Station located in Upper Lake for a reported stabbing that had just occurred. When deputies arrived they found a victim with a stab wound. The victim was transported to Sutter Lakeside hospital where he was later flown to an out of county hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
During the investigation deputies learned that the victim was an employee at the gas station. The suspects, who were identified as Jerrica Marie Reeves, 31, of Nice and Moses Filburn James Reeves, 34, of Nice, came to the gas station and started a verbal argument with the victim. The argument turned physical and Jerrica Reeves began assaulting the victim. Moses Reeves exited his vehicle and also began physically assaulting the victim. The victim attempted to retreat into the gas station and when he did he felt a pain in his back. The victim was able to enter the gas station while the suspects fled the area in their vehicle. Major Crimes Detectives responded to assist with the investigation. Detectives were able to determine that Moses Reeves was responsible for stabbing the victim.
Deputies were able to locate the suspect’s vehicle at a residence on East Robinson Road in Upper Lake. Deputies were able to contact the owners of the residence who were not home. The owners gave deputies permission to search the residence and surrounding area for the suspects, but they were not able to locate them. At this time the motive for the assault is still under investigation.
At approximately 9:30 PM, deputies patrolling in the Upper Lake area stopped a vehicle for a mechanical violation. During the stop the deputies recognized Jerrica Reeves as a passenger in the vehicle and she was taken into custody without incident. She was later booked at the Lake County Jail on charges of Accessary to a Crime and Battery. Due to $0 bail rules that are in effect she was released after booking. Moses Reeves has not been located and anyone with information related to his location is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690. Anyone who may have witnessed the assault or who has additional information related to the investigation is asked to contact Detective Dean Preader at 707-262-4231 or dean.preader@lakecountyca.gov.
