MENDOCINO COUNTY, Calif. – Mendocino County officials are continuing to investigate a Wednesday shooting that left a Willits man dead and a second wounded.

Joseph E. Litteral, 40, was identified as the fatal shooting victim, according to Capt. Kurt Smallcomb of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.

The incident was reported shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday at space No. 8 at Bu Shay Campground in Redwood Valley, according to Smallcomb.

Litteral was transported to Ukiah Valley Medical Center where he died a short time later, Smallcomb said.

The second victim, a Willits man in his 20s whose name was not released, was flown via air ambulance to an out-of-county hospital for a single gunshot wound to the upper torso. Smallcomb said the man remained hospitalized on Thursday and was in stable condition, having suffered a fractured scapula from his gunshot injury.

Detectives are continuing to follow up leads in an effort to identify the suspects in the shooting, Smallcomb said.

Smallcomb said an autopsy of Litteral is scheduled for Friday.

Anyone who may have information into the shooting incident is encouraged to contact Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detectives at 707-467-9159.
