SHINGLETOWN, Calif. — Authorities last night announced that the third victim of a triple shooting that happened at a Shingletown home Saturday, June 27, has passed away.

Two other men shot during last month’s deadly incident, which happened on the 27000 block of Gail Ln., near Dersch Rd., had already died the day of the shooting.

After a days-long manhunt, the person officials say was responsible for the triple homicide was killed when he was struck by a vehicle on a southern California highway. He died while trying to run across the busy freeway following two, early morning, hit and run crashes.

The now-deceased gunman has since been identified as Daun Eric Sanders, 35, of Shingletown.

Sanders three victims have now all been identified as 59-year-old Jon Charles Depoorter, and 66-year-old Michael Barton Stanfill; who both died at the scene of the shooting. The final victim to die from the gun violence has been identified as as 59-year-old Stephanie Currie. All three were Shingletown residents.

According to Shasta County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit Sgt. Kyle Wallace, Currie passed away around 2 a.m., July 9, after spending nearly two weeks clinging to life at a Redding hospital.

Shasta County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit began investigating the triple homicide when deputies and other area law enforcement officials responded to a private residence on Gail Ln., after receiving reports of gunfire with three victims down at the rural property.

The deadly triple homicide led to an exhaustive search for Sanders, who was named as the sole suspect the day of the deadly incident.

Their search ended when local authorities were notified that Sanders had been killed when he was struck by a car on July 1, after he was involved in two hit and run crashes before fleeing on foot from his pickup truck and trying to run across Interstate 15 in Ontario. A puppy Sanders was carrying when he was struck was also killed.

Officials are continuing to search for the gunman’s father, 80-year-old, William “Bill” Sanders, who has not been seen since two days before last month’s triple shooting. SCSO photo

Detectives are still looking for any information surrounding the disappearance of William “Bill” Sanders, 80, from Shingletown, who was last seen or heard from June 25, two days before the triple homicide.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation or who knows the whereabouts of Sanders’ missing father is urged to immediately contact the Shasta County Major Crimes Unit at (530) 245-6135 or by
email.
