On 10/29/2024 at approximately 4:49am, Ukiah Police Department (UPD) Dispatch received a call from a hysterical female subject requesting an emergency response to a residence in the 200 block of Irvington Drive.  The female caller stated that her boyfriend had been stabbed by her brother and the brother was still inside of the residence. UPD Officers responded and located the victim, a 28-year-old male from Ukiah, CA standing in front of the residence holding the left portion of his face/eye, with blood covering him. UPD Officer’s requested medical to stage as the suspect had not been contacted and the scene was not secure. Mendocino  County Sheriff’s Office Deputies arrived to assist, and escorted the victim to a safe location where medical personnel could treat him. 

It was learned from the witnesses and victim that the suspect, Maclovio Garcia Magana was alone inside of the residence, and there was a firearm inside as well. Due to the safety concerns and no other subjects in harm’s way, UPD Officer’s utilized their patrol vehicle PA system (Public Address System) to order Magana to exit the residence. After a short time, the front door to the residence opened, and Magana exited. Magana was ordered to raise his hands above his head and walk towards the officer’s location. Magana complied with commands and was arrested without incident.  

After securing Magana in a UPD patrol vehicle, officers cleared the residence to confirm there were no other victims inside. The scene was then processed, where a large amount of blood was located and an approximate  13” kitchen knife with 8” long blade was located, with blood and water on it. It appeared that Magana had begun cleaning the knife and floor of the residence in an attempt to conceal the crime. 

During the investigation and interviews, it was determined that Magana premeditated the assault while lying in wait in the kitchen. Magana attacked the victim as he entered the kitchen causing a significant laceration just above the left eyebrow, down across the eye into the cheek and the jawline of the victim. The victim had an additional stab wound to the upper left portion of his chest near his heart. During the altercation, it also appeared that the victim sustained a defensive laceration wound to his right pinky finger. 

Medstar Ambulance as well as the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority arrived and provided medical aid to the victim before transporting him to a local area hospital for treatment.

Magana had a probation term to include, “Obey all laws.” Magana was transported to the Mendocino County Jail where he was booked and lodged for attempted murder,  and violation of probation. Magana’s bail was set at $252, 500.00.  

The Ukiah Police Department would like to thank the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, Medstar  Ambulance, and the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority for their assistance during this incident.
