On April 8, 2023, 30-year-old Mia Simone Felder was shot at the McKinleyville, California, residence of her former partner, 41-year-old Daniel Forrest Rena-Dozier. Deputies responding to a call from Rena-Dozier found Felder with a gunshot wound; she was taken to a local hospital and died from her injuries. Rena-Dozier told dispatchers an altercation had occurred and that Felder had refused to leave his Windy Road home.
A search of the residence turned up multiple firearms, including one fitted with a homemade silencer and another with its serial number removed. Rena-Dozier was arrested on charges that included murder, possession of a firearm silencer, and tampering with firearm identification marks; the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office later reduced the murder charge to voluntary manslaughter, alleging the killing occurred without premeditation, possibly in the heat of passion.
Felder, from Suisun City, was a photographer, artist, and writer. Her mother, Gloria Felder, said the family is devastated by the loss. If anyone knew Mia or witnessed events at the Windy Road residence on April 8, what can be shared with investigators?
