On April 5, 2024, at about 10:54 PM, officers were dispatched to the 15300 block of Pacific Avenue for a report of multiple gunshots heard. While on the way to the call, officers learned a victim of a gunshot wound was being transported to the hospital by an involved party. Officers responded to Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital and contacted the adult female victim who was receiving medical treatment for a gunshot wound. Hospital staff attempted life-saving measures; however, the victim, identified as 45-year-old Elizabeth Williams of Clearlake, died of her injuries.
Clearlake Police Detectives responded to assist in the investigation. During the investigation, it was determined that Elizabeth Williams was driving in a vehicle near Pacific Avenue and Konocti View Road. Another vehicle pulled up next to Williams’ vehicle, and one of the occupants of the other vehicle shot at Williams’s vehicle, striking her one time. The suspect(s) then left the scene in their vehicle.
Based upon the evidence and witness statements, officers identified 21-year-old Nathaniel Hueners of Lakeport as the possible suspect. After further investigation, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Nathaniel Hueners.
