Press Release: 🚨 CHP SEEKS TIPS IN 2023 LAKE COUNTY HOMICIDE 🚨

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol’s Northern Division Major Crimes Unit is seeking the public’s help in solving a 2023 homicide on State Route 29.

At about 8:45 p.m. on Oct. 17, 2023, CHP dispatchers received a report that a man with blood on his face was waving his arms and trying to flag down vehicles on SR-29 north of Hofacker Lane in Lower Lake. Another caller reported that the man was lying near the highway, bleeding from the head. A third caller reported hearing gunshots in the area.

Emergency responders found the man, later identified as Andrew Gurrola, 33, of Lake County, dead at the scene. Evidence and an autopsy determined that Gurrola died from gunshot wounds.

Nearly three years into the investigation, investigators have neither identified a suspect nor recovered the fi***rm used in the killing.

“There is no tolerance for acts of violence like this in California,” said Chief Andrew Poyner, commander of the CHP Northern Division. “Those responsible for Andrew Gurrola’s death must be held accountable. Our Major Crimes Unit is diligently pursuing this investigation.”

Anyone with information about Gurrola’s killing, the identity of the person responsible, or the location of the fi***rm is asked to contact the CHP Northern Division at (916)268-2282 or CHP Ukiah Communications Center at (707)467-4000 or email [email protected]. Callers should reference case No. F013-107-23.

The CHP Northern Division's Major Crimes Unit continues to investigate.
