On April 6, 2022, Robert Landstra, 43, of Marysville, California, was shot and killed outside an apartment complex in Linda around 6 p.m. on Country Club Court. Several 911 callers reported the shooting. Landstra was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was declared dead at the scene.

Witnesses identified 60-year-old Laurence Lang of Linda as the shooter. According to accounts, the confrontation began earlier that evening when Lang argued with a woman about his dog urinating on a car; Landstra intervened and told Lang not to speak to the woman that way. Lang reportedly left, returned minutes later with a handgun, and surveillance footage shows Landstra backing away with his hands up as Lang approached and fired multiple shots.

Lang was located and arrested later that night and booked into the Yuba County Jail on a $1-million bail, facing charges related to the killing. The motive was described as stemming from the earlier confrontation. Did anyone in the Linda or Marysville area witness the argument or have information about events that evening?
