Nikki Dion Metcalf, 40, was one of three people killed in a shooting at a home on the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria Reservation in Loleta, California, on February 10, 2021. The other victims were Margarett Lee Moon, 40, and Moon’s 16-year-old daughter, Shelly Autumn Mae Moon. A juvenile inside the home called 911; deputies found two dead and a third with serious injuries who later died at a local hospital. Two children, 11 and 13, were present and unharmed.
Authorities identified an 18-year-old suspect, Mauricio Eduardo Johnson of Loleta, who was known to the victims and was a guest in the home that morning. Reports say Johnson had a relationship with Shelly; investigators were still examining the nature of that relationship and the motive for the killings. The community was deeply affected, especially because Shelly and Margarett Moon both worked with students at Loleta Elementary School.
If anyone knew Nikki, Margarett, Shelly, or has information about that morning, please share what you know with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.
