Dana N Hudson, 44, of Willow Creek, California, was shot and later died from complications of multiple gunshot wounds sustained during an armed robbery on Sabretooth Road on August 12, 2016. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident as a homicide after Hudson succumbed to his injuries.

Hudson was a well-known figure in nearby Blue Lake, remembered for founding Stardough’s, a local café that served as a gathering place for youth and residents. No arrests have been announced and investigators have not identified suspects with sufficient evidence for prosecution; the case remains open as officials continue to seek information from the public.

If anyone knew Dana, saw activity on Sabretooth Road in mid-August 2016, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
