DROUGHT SERIES Topic: water conservation in the home GERBER The victim of a fatal shooting late Thursday in the El Camino area of Gerber has been identified as Jose Jesus Ontiveros, 24, of Tulare. It is believed Ontiveros was one of two suspects in an assault northeast of where his body was found, according to a Tehama County Sheriff's Department re- lease issued Tuesday afternoon. Officers responded at 10:53 p.m. Thursday to reports of mul- tiple shots fired with a man down in the 7800 block of Central Ave- nue and immediately put up clo- sures around the area with as- sistance from Red Bluff Police, Corning Police and the Califor- nia Highway Patrol. A preliminary investigation of the scene revealed the man re- ported as being down was dead and had a gunshot wound on his head, the release said. During the investigation, de- tectives learned there was a mar- ijuana grow northeast of where the body was found and contacted Francisco Lopez, who told them he heard noises outside his res- idence and opened his sliding glass door to investigate. Upon opening the door, Lopez saw two people in his backyard and when he yelled at them one of the people fired a weapon at him, the release said. Lopez retreated to hide inside his residence and the suspects fled in an unknown direction. According to the release, spent casings from a rifle were found in Lopez's backyard. Lopez told offi- cers he did not know Ontiveros. The incident is still under in- vestigation and anyone with in- formation is asked to call the sheriff's department at (530) 529- 7920. BREAKING VictimidentifiedinGerbershooting By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF The Tehama County Young Marines are attending local government meetings throughout the beginning of Oc- tober to invite leaders and the community to help celebrate Red Ribbon Week, which will be Oct. 26-30. "We are planning to come to- gether with the Tehama County Department of Education on Monday, Oct. 26 at the Cone and Kimball Clock Tower at noon," said Unit Commander Jaime Crane. "We will be handing out as many red ribbons as we can to kick off Red Ribbon Week." Red Ribbon Week, held the last full week of October, com- memorates the ultimate sacri- fice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traf- fickers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs. It is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. The youth organization plans to decorate a good portion of Main Street with red bows and put out a banner in honor of the celebration, he said. There will also be several pre- sentations at Tehama County schools throughout the week to present the drug free message to local youth. A special event with the Department of Education, 1135 Lincoln St., in Red Bluff is scheduled on Monday, Oct. 26. The event, which will include a color guard presentation along with an explanation for visitors on why Red Ribbon Week is held and why it is important, will be at 6 p.m. For more information on the event, visit the Tehama County Young Marines Facebook page or write to tehamacountyyoung- marines@gmail.com.
