Police in Santa Rosa are offering up to $2,500 to anyone who provides them with information that may help them identify and arrest suspects involved in a Sunday homicide.
Police officers were dispatched to the parking lot of a Jack in the Box on 2755 Santa Rosa Avenue after reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers found the victim, who appeared to have been shot at least once and was unresponsive, laying in front of the drive-thru. While officers provided medical aid and emergency crews attempted to revive the victim, he was pronounced dead.
The victim was later identified as 40-year-old Rohnert Park resident, Jeffrey Farinha.
Investigators allege the victim was involved in an alternation with two suspects in which one shot him with a handgun multiple times. Both suspects, who were not located by responding officers, fled the scene eastbound in the 200 block of Burt Street, leaving the victim on the ground.
