On 07-11-2024 at approximately 8:06 PM, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a 911 call from 47-year-old Pan Jasper Brady, reporting that he had just shot a person. Brady reported that he had been in an argument with the victim, a 54-year-old male, and Brady retrieved a handgun and shot the victim. Brady secured the firearm while awaiting the arrival of responding law enforcement personnel.

Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and California State Parks Peace Officers responded. Due to safety concerns related to the nature of the call, medical personnel staged in the area awaiting law enforcement.  Upon the arrival of law enforcement personnel, the victim was found to have succumbed from injuries that included at least one gunshot wound. Brady was detained by deputies and Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Detectives responded to take over the investigation. Brady was ultimately arrested and booked into the Mendocino County Jail on a charge of homicide, and an additional charge for using a firearm during the commission of a homicide. Brady is being held in custody in lieu of $1,000,000 bail.

The identity of the victim will be withheld until his legal next of kin has been notified of his death. An autopsy will be scheduled for the victim of this case and the official cause and manner of death will not be released until the final autopsy report is available.

This case is actively being investigated and anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Detectives by calling 707-463-4086. Information can also be provided anonymously by calling the non-emergency tip line at 707-234-2100.
