CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man who police have been searching for in connection with the June 18 shooting that killed a child and wounded five others has been arrested.

Kevin Ray Stone, 29, was taken into custody on a felony warrant at about 1:45 a.m. Friday by Sonoma County Sheriff's deputies, according to a report from Clearlake Police Sgt. Martin Snyder.

Snyder said Stone was booked into the Sonoma County Jail.

For nearly two weeks police have been trying to locate Stone, one of three suspects in the June 18 shooting that claimed the life of 4-year-old Skyler Rapp, and wounded his mother, Desiree Kirby, 22, along with her boyfriend, Ross Sparks, 25; his brother, Andrew Sparks, 23; Ian Griffith, 19; and Joey Armijo, 15.

Already in custody are 23-year-old Orlando Joseph Lopez and Paul William Braden, 21, both of Clearlake Oaks. Both Lopez and Braden have been charged with murder, several counts of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, mayhem and numerous special allegations.

Snyder said the Clearlake Police Department received an anonymous tip from a caller who said Stone was in Sonoma County.

Clearlake Police Department, which has been working with the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office in the effort to locate and arrest Stone, passed the information on to them, Snyder said.

As a result, deputies from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and the Sonoma County Violent Crimes Unit responded to the area where Stone was reported to be, and located and arrested him, according to Snyder.

The Clearlake Police Department recognized the efforts of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department and all other Sonoma County Law enforcement agencies that have been working with them to locate and capture Stone, Snyder said.

He said details of the arrest will be forthcoming.
