LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation into the killing of a Clearlake man earlier this month.
Donnie Gene Cruise III, 37, was the victim of the homicide, said Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On the afternoon of March 10 Cruise was found unconscious with visible head injuries and a stab wound to his stomach near Clark’s Island and E. State Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks, as Lake County News has reported.
He died hours later after being transported to Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital for treatment.
Paulich said Cruise’s death was the result of the stab wound he suffered.
He said there is no additional information the sheriff’s office is releasing about the crime at this time.
“Detectives are still canvassing and interviewing potential witnesses,” Paulich said.
Authorities are asking anyone with information in the case to contact Det. Richard Kreutzer at 707-262-4233.
