Mathew Thomas Dix, 27, of Manila, California, was found dead inside his vehicle in the driveway of his home on Victor Boulevard on December 2, 2017. Deputies from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to a medical aid call about 3:16 a.m.; Dix was seated in his idling car and had died of a gunshot wound. Investigators classified the death as a homicide and launched an investigation.

Despite ongoing efforts and periodic public updates from the Sheriff’s Office, no suspects have been identified. Authorities report limited physical evidence and no eyewitnesses, and the case remains an unsolved homicide listed by the county. Friends and family remembered Dix as kind and caring; vigils and memorials were held and calls for justice continue.

Does anyone in the Manila area have information about that early-morning shooting or recall seeing the vehicle on Victor Boulevard that night?
