David Frank Mobilio was a 31-year-old Red Bluff, California, police officer who was shot and killed while refueling his patrol car on November 19, 2002. He had four years of service. The shooting happened between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m.; fellow officers found his body about 2:30 a.m. after he failed to answer radio calls. He was discovered near the gas pump with his gun drawn, suggesting he may have tried to defend himself.

A suspect, 23-year-old Andrew McCrae, was arrested in Concord, New Hampshire, on November 26, 2002, the day of Mobilio’s funeral. McCrae confessed and said he killed the officer to draw attention to police brutality; the arrest followed an FBI tip and a fugitive warrant. Mobilio was the first officer in Red Bluff to die in the line of duty. A memorial service at the Tehama County Fairgrounds drew about 2,500 people, including Governor Gray Davis.

Anyone who knew Officer Mobilio or has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
